Malignant neoplasms of fallopian tubeICD-11 Category
ICD-11 code : 2C74;
Preferred Label : Malignant neoplasms of fallopian tube;
ICD-11 definition : Tumours of the fallopian tube are much less common than the corresponding ovarian
neoplasms; however, histologically the same surface epithelial-stromal tumour subtypes
are recognized. Sex cord-stromal and germ cell tumours are rare. Hydatidiform moles
and gestational choriocarcinoma are uncommon complications of tubal ectopic pregnancy.
The wolffian adnexal tumour is also infrequent and typically occurs in the leaves
of the broad ligament. The risk factors appear similar to those of the ovary. Fallopian
tube carcinomas are a component of the hereditary breast-ovarian cancer syndrome caused
by BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutations.;
