An Interesting Case Report of Pseudocarcinomatous Hyperplasia of the Fallopian Tubes
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Tubal epithelial hyperplasia is usually regarded as a frequent incidental finding, however its potential association with serous borderline tumours of the ovary has been suggested. We are reporting a case of a 30 years old multiparous female who presented to our institute with complaints of pain abdomen on & off, spotting, and bleeding per vagina with a history of 45 days amenorrhea. Ultrasound scan suggested left ectopic pregnancy. Laparoscopic left salphingo-oophorectomy with right fimbriectomy was done & specimen was sent for histopathological examination which revealed simple serous cyst of the ovary and pseudocarcinomatous tubal hyperplasia. Histopathological examination plays an important role in identifying the early precursors of most ovarian low grade and high grade serous carcinomas. Keywords: pseudocarcinomatous tubal hyperplasia, fallopian tubes, serous borderline tumours, ectopic pregnancy
