Histopathological study of surgically resected specimens of fallopian tube

Abstract

Background: Fallopian Tubes are very common surgical specimen received in the pathological laboratory. It is affected by wide spectrum of both non neoplastic and neoplastic lesions. But there is very few studies described the frequency of various histopathological spectrums of lesions of fallopian tube.Aims & Objectives: To study the various histopathological lesions seen in surgically resected specimens of fallopian tube and their age distributions. Material and Method: A total of 200 surgically resected specimen of fallopian tube of all age group of patients which are received for one and half year duration, are processed with routine histopathological techniques. Histopathological features were studied on Haematoxylin and Eosin stain. Results: In our studies majority of the cases are belongs to 40 to 60 years of age out of 200 specimens. In this study, most of the patients were undergone total abdominal hysterectomy with salpingooophorectomy (60%). In our study out of 200 cases 63 (31.50%) specimens show unremarkable histology. Only 1(0.50%) case shows neoplastic pathology. Most common histopathological findings observed are paratubal cyst, ectopic tubal gestation and Walthard Cell Nests. Conclusion:Present study shows broad spectrum of pathological lesions in fallopian tube. Majority of the lesions are non neoplastic in nature. Thorough histopathological examination of fallopian tube specimens is necessary to document many lesions including rare primary intraepithelial malignancy which can be missed clinically and found incidentally on histopathological examination.

Morphometric Analysis of Changes of the Mucosa of Uterine Tube of Female Rat Under the Influence of Opioid in Experiment

“…The changes that occurred indicate the ability of the opioid to cause irreversible changes with prolonged use, leading to disorders of structure and function at all levels. At the same time, similar changes have been observed in other pathological processes in the fallopian tubes, including salpingitis, adnexitis, and hydrosalpingitis [22,23].…”

“…Зміни, які виникли, свідчать про здатність опіоїду при тривалому застосуванні викликати незворотні зміни, що приводять до порушень структури та функцій на усіх рівнях. При цьому, подібні зміни спостерігали і при інших патологічних процесах у маткових трубах, зокрема сальпінгітах, аднекситах, гідросальпінгітах [22,23].…”

Histopathologic and Preneoplastic Changes in Tubal Ligation Materials

“…Tubal epithelial hyperplasia in nonneoplastic and neoplastic cases has long been of interest. In 1989, Susan et al found epithelial hyperplasia in 68.7% of 99 cases with serous borderline [28]. While the rate of epithelial hyperplasia was 3% in a study of 200 non-neoplastic cases [4], the rate of cases with epithelial cell line >3 was 1.4% in another overlap [10].…”

“…In our study, the rate of inflammatory cells was 33.34%, while the rate of intraepithelial lymphocytes was 14.492%. In the examination of the tubas of 201 patients, 60% of which had total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoooferectomy (TAH-BSO), salpingitis was observed in 10.19%, hydrosalpinx in 7.86%, and pyosalpinx in 0.29% [28]. In a study conducted in contrast, salpingitis was observed to be as low as 1.9% in a follow-up of 72 patients after hysterectomy [10].…”

“…Bhattacharya et al examined the tuba of 201 patients with 60% TAH-BSO and found that, while only one case was neoplastic, paratubal cysts, ectopic tubal gestation, and Walthard Cell Nests were the most common [28]. In a series of 287 cases, Hunt et al reported stromal and structural changes such as fibrosis in 35.5%, intramuscular edema in 12.5%, inclusion cysts in 7.7%, Walthard cell nests in 5.2%, tibial pigments in 5.1%, the Wolffian duct remnant in 4.5%, decidualized stroma in 3%, decidualized stroma and endosalpingiosis in 2.4%, and metastatic carcinoma infiltration in 1.4% [27].…”
