WALTHARD CELL REST OVER FALLOPIAN TUBE MIMICKING ? BRENNER TUMOR: A CURIOUS AND INTERESTING CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Era's Journal of Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Walthard cell rests are benign cluster of epithelial cells found in connective tissue of fallopian tubes and also seen in the mesovarium, mesosalpinx and ovarian hilus. It was proposed that Walthard cell rests may be a source of Brenner's tumor or primary urothelial cell carcinoma because of similar histogenetic origin of their cells. Here we report a case which not only during gross examination showed peculiar peritubal glistening tiny nodules but also demonstrated attention grabbing clusters of cell on histopathology, mimicking ? A tumor. A diagnosis of Walthard cell rest was made. One should always consider a differential diagnosis as Brenner's tumor (primary) or serosal implant from gynaecological, genitourinary or other tumors before making a confirmatory diagnosis of Walthard cell rest.
