“…These two conditions may exist together. [ 2 ] Our case, however, showed only intraluminal bilateral endometriosis, with no involvement of the myosalpinx or serosa. Sampson has hypothesized that following partial salpingectomy, the tubal epithelium sprouts from the cut ends and may undergo metaplasia to give rise to endometriosis.…”

“…Sampson has hypothesized that following partial salpingectomy, the tubal epithelium sprouts from the cut ends and may undergo metaplasia to give rise to endometriosis. [ 2 – 4 ] However, this theory has been challenged by Stock,[ 5 ] who has concluded that endometriosis of the proximal stump is a result of repeated menstrual reflux, rather than metaplasia of the seeded or invading tubal mucosa.…”

Post-salpingectomy endometriosis: An under-recognized entity

We report a case of a 48-year old lady, who presented with complaints of lower abdominal pain and menorrhagia for the last four months. The patient had undergone bilateral salpingectomy four years back by the Pomeroy technique. Ultrasonography revealed an ovarian cyst on the right side. A total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination. It revealed that the normal mucosa of the tubectomy stump was completely replaced by endometrial tissue. Tubal endometriosis remains an under-recognized entity, due to less extensive routine sampling of the fallopian tubes, and they may be also be associated with other pathologies, as was in the present case.

“…The same opinion is shared by other authors who reported similar cases. 1 Post-salpingectomy endometriosis occurs at the tip of the proximal tubectomy stump, years after the procedure, particularly with the use of electrocautery, short proximal stumps and with increasing post ligation intervals and at times is often related to salpingitis isthmica nodosa. 1 Endometriosis is an estrogen driven disease and progesterone resistance is considered to be a crucial requirement for the seeding and maintenance of endometriotic lesions.…”

“…Non-neoplastic lesions of the fallopian tubes often give rise to diagnostic challenges to the unaware, as many of them are uncommon. 1 Postsalpingectomy endometriosis which can be broadly divided into serosal or intraluminal, commonly occurs 1-4 years after tubal ligation, with the patients presenting with nonspecific symptoms. 2,3 Intraluminal endometriosis is less common and involves ectopic implantation of endometrium on the mucosal surface of the tube lumen.…”

Endometriosis of the fallopian tube is often incidentally picked up in hysterectomy specimens that are sent for histopathological examination for other obvious pathological conditions. Post-salpingectomy endometriosis is one such entity that is known to occur in the tip of the proximal stump of the fallopian tube years after tubal ligation. As mere visualization of the endometriotic lesions is inadequate for an accurate diagnosis, histopathologic analysis of the biopsy samples becomes mandatory for confirmation. We report a case of post salpingectomy endometriosis which was incidentally discovered in a peri menopausal lady who was operated for multiple fibroids of the uterus. This case not only highlights an entity which is challenging to visualize radiologically and suspect clinically, but is also underrecognized, as very little attention is given to the fallopian tube during routine grossing.
