Fallopian Tube Papilloma – Case Report of a Rare Tumor

Abstract

Fallopian tube neoplasms are rare. We report a rare case of fallopian tube papilloma discovered incidentally in a 45 year old female, operated for procidentia. Right tube was dilated at the infundibular region, with friable grey white tissue in the lumen. Microscopy showed delicate branching papillae lined by a single layer of epithelium resembling tubal lining. There were no features to suggest a reactive hyperplasia in response to inflammation or of aggressive behaviour.

Fallopian Tube Papilloma: An Unusual Case of Tubal Obstruction

“…FT papillomas are rare tumors of the tube, with only eight cases reported so far in English literature, ours being the ninth such case [1,3,4]. These tumors are either discovered incidentally [1] or they may be symptomatic presenting as a mass lesion [3]. In our case, the tumor was incidentally found in a patient who was clinically and sonologically diagnosed as tubal gestation, which might have occurred secondary to tubal obstruction caused by papilloma.…”

“…Benign tumors of the tube include polypoid adenofibromas, papilloma, metaplastic papillary tumor and benign serous cystadenoma [2]. FT papillomas are rare tumors of the tube, with only eight cases reported so far in English literature, ours being the ninth such case [1,3,4]. These tumors are either discovered incidentally [1] or they may be symptomatic presenting as a mass lesion [3].…”

“…Papillomas are rare benign neoplasms of the FT [1]. Only very few cases of these tumors have been reported so far.…”

Cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma of fallopian tubes: a case report

“…The Cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma (CDL), also called sternberg tumor, is a rare subtype of leiomyoma that typically manifests in the uterus [1]. Macroscopically, the tumors exhibit multiple nodules, a dark red hue, and a placental-like appearance.…”
