%X Primary carcinoma in the fallopian tube is a rare gynecological tumor. Its preoperative diagnosis is difficult because of its insidious and silent course. It is usually performed in the postoperative stage. This carcinoma is most frequently presented in post menopausal women. Its clinical and histological behavior is often similar to that of an ovarian cancer. In literature there are reports on the association between ovarian and endometrial cancer. Nevertheless, there are but few references to their association with fallopian tubes cancer. Two cases of primary cancer in the fallopian tubes, diagnosed in a 6 months period through post-surgical histology, that were treated in the Gynecology Service of the “Enrique Cabrera“ General Teaching Hospital are presented. Their preoperative diagnoses were endometrial adenocarcinoma and ovarian cancer. It is relevant that one patient, with 44 years old, was diagnosed through endometrial biopsy performed to remove an intra uterine device. The result of that study was an endometrial adenocarcinoma that required surgery. El carcinoma primario de la trompa de Falopio es un tumor ginecol車gico raro. Su diagn車stico pre- operatorio se dificulta por su curso insidioso y silente, generalmente se realiza en el post-operatorio. Se presenta con mayor frecuencia en mujeres post menopa迆sicas y cl赤nica e histol車gicamente se comporta en muchas ocasiones como un c芍ncer de ovario. En la literatura se ha reportado la asociaci車n entre c芍ncer de ovario y endometrio pero muy pocos han descrito la asociaci車n de estos, con el c芍ncer de la trompa de Falopio. Se presentan dos casos de c芍ncer primario de la trompa de Falopio, diagnosticados en un per赤odo de 6 meses por histolog赤a post-quir迆rgica, intervenidos en el Servicio de Ginecolog赤a del Hospital General Docente “Enrique Cabrera“ y cuyos diagn車sticos pre-operatorios fueron: adenocarcinoma de endometrio y c芍ncer de ovario. Es llamativo, que una de las pacientes, de 44 a os, se le realiza el diagn車stico al realizar biopsia endometrial para retirar un dispositivo intrauterino y el resultado de dicho estudio fue un adenocarcinoma de endometrio que justifica la intervenci車n quir迆rgica.
