Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Fallopian tube is a common specimen in the laboratory. It is affected by a wide spectrum of diseases but there are only occasional studies, documenting histological changes in the fallopian tube removed for all reasons. Aims and objectives:To study the gross and microscopic features of the excised fallopian tubes and to study the common and unusual lesions in them. To find the incidences of tumour and the tumour like lesions of the fallopian tube. Materials and Methods: A sample size of 200 cases was included in this study which consisted of all the specimens of fallopian tubes of all age groups obtained by salpingectomy, tubal ligation, salpingo-oophorectomy or along with hysterectomy. All the specimens were processed by routine histopathological techniques. Histopathological features were studied on hematoxylin and eosin stained sections. Results: In our study, majority of the cases belonged to age group of less than or equal to 30 years. Total number of 372 fallopian tubes were received from 200 patients. Out of the 372 fallopian tube specimens, 248 (66.67%) were normal whereas 124 (33.33%) fallopian tubes were abnormal. Of the 124 abnormal fallopian tube specimens, majority were diagnosed to have non neoplastic lesions that is 119 (95.97%) fallopian tubes, and 5 (4.03%) were diagnosed to have neoplastic lesions. The most common histopathological finding observed were inflammatory conditions seen in 47 (12.63%) of the fallopian tubes seen most commonly in the age group of less than or equal to 30 years. Conclusion: The present study describes the broad spectrum of lesions in fallopian tube and their incidence with respect to age group. Majority of the lesions were non neoplastic comprising predominantly of inflammatory lesions, seen most commonly in younger age group. Neoplastic lesions of the fallopian tube were rare.
