Ultrasound characteristics of primary fallopian tube carcinoma and the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis
The clinical manifestations of PFTC are diverse and lack of specificity. The ultrasound examination may have the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. PFTC should be highly suspected when there are characteristic ultrasound images including sausage-shaped mass companied by hydrosalpinx, uterine fluid accumulation, or abdominal or pelvic fluid accumulation. If the mass is small, it is prone to missed diagnosis.
