of endometrial carcinoma in postmenopausal patients presenting with per vaginal bleeding. The first case
was reported by Orthmann of Germany in 1886. To date less than 1200 cases of primary carcinoma of the
fallopian tube have been reported in literature. Classical triad of (a) Hydropstubaeprofluens -prominent
