Primary fallopian tube cancer (PFTC) is a rare gynaecological malignancy, clinically often mistaken for pelvic inflammatory disease or ovarian cancer. Three primary fallopian tube carcinomas, arising in a background of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), are presented. The possible association between chronic PID and PFTC is discussed and a hypothesies linking these cancers with chronic inflammation is proposed.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecologic cancer (1). We performed discovery of genes associated with epithelial ovarian cancer and of the high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) subtype, using published and public microarray data (2, 3) to compare global gene expression profiles of normal ovary or fallopian tube with that of primary tumors from women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer or HGSC. We identified the gene encoding SLIT and NTRK-like family member 3, SLITRK3, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. SLITRK3 expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. SLITRK3 expression correlated with progression-free survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of SLITRK3 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. SLITRK3 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

We identified the gene encoding LSM4 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA and mRNA degradation associated, LSM4, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. LSM4 expression was significantly higher in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. LSM4 expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. These data indicate that expression of LSM4 is perturbed in epithelial ovarian cancers broadly and in ovarian cancers of the HGSC subtype. LSM4 may be relevant to pathways underlying ovarian cancer initiation (transformation) or progression.

We identified the gene encoding murine retrovirus integration site 1 homolog, MRVI1, as among the genes whose expression was most different in epithelial ovarian cancer as compared to the normal fallopian tube. MRVI1 expression was significantly lower in high-grade serous ovarian tumors relative to normal fallopian tube. MRVI1 expression correlated with overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer.
