“…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.

“…Immunohistochemical stains, such as CD68 for histiocytes, CD20 for B cells, and CD3 for T lymphocytes, are useful in making the diagnosis [ 12 ]. The inflammatory conditions that come under differential diagnosis include tuberculosis and fungal infections, which are ruled out by special stains and culture studies [ 13 ]. Ziehl-Neelsen stain for acid fast bacillus and periodic acid schiff stain were negative in the present study, excluding these possibilities.…”

Xanthogranulomatous oophoritis is a rare, chronic and non-neoplastic condition in which a heavy foamy histiocyte inflammatory infiltrate admixed with neutrophils, plasma cells, multinucleated giant cells, fibroblasts and foci of necrosis causing extensive tissue damage and organ destruction. The gallbladder and kidney are just two examples of the different organs that exhibit histological changes resembling xanthogranulomatous alteration. The present case involved a 40-year-old female who presented with a tuboovarian mass and was ultimately diagnosed with xanthogranulomatous oophritis, despite initial clinicoradiological suspicions for malignancy. Xanthogranulomatous oophritis is a significant entity because, clinically and radiographically, it resembles tumours of the ovary and hinges on a careful histopathological analysis to establish a diagnosis.

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is a rare type of chronic inflammation. It destroys the tissue of the affected organ, mostly affecting the kidney and gall bladder. Xanthogranulomatous inflammation of female genital tract being a rare entity, only few numbered cases involving the ovary have been reported in literature. This chronic inflammation of fallopian tubes and ovaries, usually present with pelvic masses, and on imaging and macroscopic appearance, are mostly misdiagnosed as ovarian neoplasm or tuberculosis. We are presenting a case of 14-year-old girl, who presented with an abdominal lump and on clinical and radiological investigations was suspected as ovarian malignancy but histo-pathology reported it as serous cystadenoma with xanthogranulomaotus oophoritis. The rarity of this case lies in the fact that rare destructive inflammatory features was present in a benign neoplasm of the ovary (serous cystadenoma) and that too in a youngest age reported till now.
