“…It is commonly believed that FT hemangioma is associated with the effect of estrogens, which stimulate the growth of blood vessels. This has been confirmed in some cases in which estrogen receptors were found in the endothelial cells of hemangiomas during immunohistochemical studies 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 8 , 10 . This case’s postoperative material study demonstrated the absence of estrogen receptors in the endothelial tumor cells, which indicates that the occurrence and growth of the FT hemangioma did not depend on the effect of estrogen.…”

“…FT hemangioma is a sporadic benign vascular tumor, with only 16 documented cases available in the literature. Most of these neoplasms measured between 2 and 10 mm, had no clinical manifestations, and were incidentally discovered during surgeries for other diseases 1 , 6 , 9 . Thus, it should be assumed that the incidence of FT hemangioma is much higher.…”

“…Fallopian tube (FT) tumors occur quite rarely compared with other female reproductive organ neoplasias. The incidence of FT cancer is no more than 1.2-1.8%, and benign neoplasms occur even less frequently 1 , 2 . Hemangiomas (vascular neoplasms) are benign tumors of endothelial cell origin that can be detected at any age and in many human organs.…”

“…Hemangiomas (vascular neoplasms) are benign tumors of endothelial cell origin that can be detected at any age and in many human organs. They include a heterogeneous group of malformations resulting from a congenital disorder of vascular morphogenesis as well as true neoplasms that occur due to either endothelial cell proliferation or vascular malformations without true endothelial cell proliferation 1 , 3 . Hemangioma in female reproductive organs, particularly in the FT, is a sporadic disease.…”

Hemangioma in female reproductive organs, particularly in the fallopian tube (FT), is a sporadic disease. In this report, we describe a case of hidden capillary hemangioma in FT in a 39-year-old woman who suffered from uterine leiomyoma. During the preoperative stage, pelvic sonography, computed tomography, and diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a subserous leiomyomatous nodule located along the posterior wall of the uterus. Despite this, intraoperatively, a benign vascular neoplasm was diagnosed. Histologically, it is characterized by multiple thin-walled vascular spaces lined with a single layer of endothelial cells, in which single mitoses were observed. The diagnosis was then confirmed immunohistochemically by CD31 and CD34 expression in the endothelial cells lining the inner surface of the spaces and the low mitotic activity of the tumor cells. It is virtually impossible to diagnose this asymptomatic neoplasm before and during surgery, which can result in an inadequate number of surgeries. Incorrect interpretation of a benign tumor at a young age can lead to unnecessary radical surgery with a resulting loss of fertility, and an unrevealed malignant process can threaten life.

“…Mostly, presenting as a small nodule or bulge in tubal wall. 2,3,[6][7][8] However, in few cases the lesion was found inside the tubal lumen filling it as hemorrhagic mass. [9][10][11] In the present case, the lesion was present in left fallopian tube and the tube was grossly normal.…”

Haemangiomas are tumors of vascular origin. They are frequently observed in soft tissue and skin. Vascular tumors of female pelvic organs are extremely rare. Although, majority of these lesions are detected incidentally, they can mimic various benign and malignant lesions clinically and radiologically. Fallopian tube capillary haemangioma is very rare benign neoplasm. Only one case of capillary haemangioma of fallopian tube has been reported. A 44-year-old female with menorrhagia, underwent hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoopherectomy. Both the fallopian tubes were grossly unremarkable. Microscopic examination revealed a well circumscribed vascular neoplasm, consistent with capillary haemangioma, CD34 immunostaining highlighted the vascular endothelium. Although benign in nature, haemangioma of the fallopian tube can present with complications. Rupture of the haemangioma can be lethal when present with hemoperitoneum.

Neoplastic lesions of the fallopian tube are rarely seen by surgical pathologists. Haemangioma of the fallopian tube is an extremely rare benign neoplasm. A 30-year-old lady with polymenorrhea and dysmenorrhea underwent hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Her left fallopian tube showed a 2mm sized solid nodule in the wall. Histopathological examination revealed a well-defined vascular lesion in the left fallopian tube, consistent with capillary haemangioma. The vascular endothelium was highlighted by CD34 immunostaining. Our literature review has identified 10 cases of cavernous haemangioma of the fallopian tube. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first ever case of capillary haemangioma of the fallopian tube. This is also the smallest detected haemangioma in the fallopian tube.
