Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of three cases of oviductal tumours diagnosed in patients of the First Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Medical University of ?ódź, in the period 2004-2009. Results: The diagnosis of adenocarcinoma was established in each patient. In one case there was a necessity of histopathological examination using immunohistochemistry methods.

There are no differences in signs and symptoms and in physical examinations between ovarian tumour and PFTC.
