This Case Report describes a patient with primary fallopian tube cancer who had a late recurrence of pelvic disease following adjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage disease. Secondary cytoreductive surgery was suboptimal. The bulky residual disease was refractory to platinum-based therapy. Extension of the disease to the retroperitoneum resulted in obstructed venous return, ureteral obstruction, and renal infection. The latter necessitated a third laparotomy and a nephrectomy. Upon recovery from surgery and failure of platinum reinduction, the patient was treated with high-dose paclitaxel. The large pelvic mass regressed rapidly and completely. Current chemotherapy for fallopian tube cancer is briefly reviewed. |
