“…In 26 out of 46 reported cases hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy was performed. [1][2][3]6,[8][9][10][13][14][15][17][18][19][20][21]24,26,[29][30][31][32]35,39,40 The differential diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous salpingitis and oophoritis includes both non-neoplastic and neoplastic conditions. The non-neoplastic conditions are mainly infections such as tuberculosis and fungal infections and malakoplakia that need to be ruled out by cultural studies and special stains such as periodic acid Schiff stain, gram stain and acid-fast stains.…”

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation of ovary is a rare disease that is characterized by presence of large number of lipid laden macrophages with an admixture of neutrophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells and multinucleated giant cells. It is misdiagnosed as ovarian tumour that leads to extensive surgery including hysterectomy. In this report we describe a case of Xanthogranulomatous salpingo-oophoritis along with review of literature.

“…The antibiotic therapy alone is not sufficient and operative treatment is necessary in the form of salpingo-oophorectomy, depending on the site of lesion. 3,4,22 The gross appearance of the specimens may show cystic degeneration, foci of necrosis, and hemorrhage, in grossly enlarged ovary. The microscopic examination shows the presence of foamy histiocytes, along with a mixture of inflammatory cells like lymphocytes, plasma cells, and occasional neutrophils.…”

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is an uncommon, nonneoplastic, chronic process in which the affected organ is destroyed by massive cellular infiltration of foamy histiocytes admixed with multinucleated giant cells, plasma cells, fibroblasts, neutrophils, and foci of necrosis. The organs most commonly affected by this entity are kidney and gallbladder. Only a few cases involving the ovary have been reported. The etiology of this entity is unknown, but the associated risk factors are infection, inappropriate antibiotic therapy, use of intrauterine contraceptive device, abnormalities in lipid metabolism, endometriosis, leiomyoma, and recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease. The current case was a 31-year-old female with post-in vitro fertilization (post-IVF) twin pregnancy, who presented with pain in the abdomen, provisionally diagnosed as ovarian mass with suspicion of malignancy. Patient was treated with antibiotics and an elective lower segment cesarean section was planned, due to lower abdominal pain and the presentation of both fetuses being breech. Patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with right oophorectomy and left double-J stenting, in view of left hydronephrosis. Diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous oophoritis was established on histopathological examination. There is only a single case; previously documented from India, in the setting of primary infertility. The present case report stresses that the condition may affect women of any age group and may be encountered in pregnancy, as has been observed in this case. Hence, thinking about this differential diagnosis in the cases presenting with similar complaints, would be of great value to avoid misdiagnosing them.

Key words: xanthogranulomatous inflammation, lipid laden histiocytes, episiotomyWe report a case of 28-year old post partum woman who presented in our hospital with the complaints of a non healing episiotomy wound and fever. Examination revealed gaping of the episiotomy wound and a small mass with no active vaginal bleeding. Laboratory investigations showed low haemoglobin, mildly raised total leucocyte count and raised ESR. Histologically it was well characterized by infiltration of the tissue by lipid-laden histiocytes and inflammatory cells and was suggestive of xanthogranulomatous inflammation. It usually poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for the clinician. To the best of our knowledge xanthogranulomatous inflammation associated with the non-healing episiotomy wound has never been reported.
