For the patient with fallopian tube MMMT, complete resection of the macroscopic malignancy (removal of the tumor invading the viscera and the peritoneum infiltrated by the tumor) is a prerequisite for long-term survival. We report a case of stage IIIc MMMT of the fallopian tube treated by cytoreductive surgery (CRS), peritoneal resection, adjuvant chemotherapy (paclitaxel plus carboplatin) five years earlier, with a 5-year post-treatment tumor-free survival. Optimal CRS helps to achieve a cytoreduction score of 0 (CC-0), which may be attributed to the technical specifications for peritoneal resection in the pelvic peritoneum. Postoperative chemotherapy combining platinum and paclitaxel is the most potent adjuvant therapy.
