“…Cystadenoma, being a benign tumor comprises about 8% of the total specimens and was the only tumor found in our study. Based on a study by, Stein R.J, et.al it was found that cystadenomas occur between the third and eighth decade [9]. which coincides with our age group at which this lesion was found in the age group of 51-55.…”

Introduction: The Fallopian tubes are a pair of narrow tubular structures connecting the ovary and the uterus. It is usually the site of fertilization and plays a very important role in the fusion of the sperm and ovary and helps in movement of the fertilized zygote to the uterus. Even though being an organ of very small size the importance of the variety of lesions occurring in the fallopian tubes is often not considered. Biopsies of the fallopian tubes are taken to show the different lesions found in the tubes. Aim: The main aim of the study is to study the spectrum of lesions occurring in the fallopian tubes and correlation of these findings with its clinical parameters. Study Design: This is a retrospective descriptive study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Pathology, Saveetha Medical College, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Thandalam, Chennai between June 2019- December 2019. Methodology: A retrospective study of all the fallopian tube specimens sent for routine histopathological analysis over a period of 6 months was carried out. The different pathological lesions were observed from the relevant clinical data and the correlation with its clinical parameters was done. Results: A sample size of 77 specimens was collected among which the commonest age group which was found to have the highest number of lesions was between 26-30 years. This was found to be in correlation to the reproductive age group of women. The most common form of pathological lesion observed was ectopic pregnancy (about 46% of total pathological lesions), followed by Paratubal cysts (23%), Hydrosalpinx (15%) and Hematosalpinx (8%). Cystadenoma was the only benign tumor observed in this study and constituted 8% of the total pathological lesions. Conclusion: This study shows the importance of histopathological examination of all fallopian tube specimens with or without abnormal findings.

“…The patient was operated total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy. Longacre et al [17] attributed a low incidence of primary malignancy in part due to admittedly arbitrary definitional criteria as it is difficult to distinguish primary tubal carcinoma from primary ovarian or primary endometrial carcinoma in patients with high stage disease is important to section the fallopian tubes serially and submit all of the tissue for a microscopic examination so that the diagnosis of carcinoma is not missed [18] Metastatic carcinoma of the fallopian tube accounts for 80-90% of all malignant tubal neoplasm; the ovary is the primary site in 60% of cases [19] . Only 3 (0.67%) tubes of the 445 tubes studied had tubal metastasis from the ovary.…”

Background: Fallopian tubes are affected by a wide spectrum of diseases varying from salpingitis to carcinoma. Most pathological processes involving the fallopian tube are inflammatory and are of clinical significance because they interfere with the function of the fallopian tube and result in infertility. Although fallopian tube is affected by a wide spectrum of diseases, a literature search reveals that there are only occasional studies, documenting histologic changes in the fallopian tube removed for all reasons. This prompts the present study. The aim is to study the gross and microscopic features of the excised fallopian tubes and to study the common and unusual lesions in them and to study the frequency of histological findings and relative frequencies of different findings. Materials and methods: Four hundred and forty-five cases of fallopian tubes that were removed were studied retrospectively, and their histopathological findings documented. Results: The majority of the fallopian tubes had inflammatory changes comprised of acute and chronic salpingitis, salpingitis isthmica nodosa, tuberculous salpingitis, xanthogranulomatous salpingitis, hematosalpinx, and hydrosalpinx. Sixteen cases comprised of ectopic pregnancy. One case of primary fallopian tube adenocarcinoma and two cases of metastatic adenocarcinoma. Conclusion:The majority of the fallopian tubes remain unremarkable in a majority of the surgical pathology specimens, yet the fallopian tube must be subjected to a thorough histopathological examination to evaluate the various pathological lesions.
