Adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube: Report of a case with an unusual pattern of metastasis and response to combination chemotherapy

Abstract A patient with stage I fallopian tube adenocarcinoma had disease recurrence in both lungs shortly after completing adjuvant therapy with intraperitoneal 32 P and parenteral cyclophosphamide. She achieved a complete clinical response to cisplatin, Adriamycin, and cyclophosphamide (PAC) chemotherapy, but was subsequently found to have brain metastasis. The implications of these observations for understanding the natural history and optimal therapy of this disease are discussed.
