Extraskeletal chondroma can occur in the hands, feet, head and neck. This tumor usually presents as a small solitary nodule. The histogenesis of the tumor is controversial, but some have suggested a metaplastic origin. Chondroma of the fallopian tube is very rare. There is only one report in English literature. The origin of this tumor can be subcoelomic mesenchyme of the tubal serosa or mesenchyme of the myosalpinx. We describe a case of chondroma arising from the serosal surface of the fallopian tube with a review of literature. A 30-yr-old woman visited hospital due to left adnexal mass. On operating finding, 2 x 3 cm sized nodular mass was noted on the left tubal serosal area. The excised mass showed multilobulated appearance covered with thin fibrous membrane. The cut surface was solid, grayish yellow, and myxoid with a focal gelatinous area. The microscopic finding showed islands and elongated lobules of mature benign cartilage without cytologic atypia.
骨外软骨瘤可发生于手、足、头颈部。该肿瘤通常表现为单个小结节。肿瘤的组织发生存在争议，但有人认为其起源于化生。输卵管软骨瘤非常罕见。英文文献中仅有一例报道。该肿瘤的起源可能是输卵管浆膜的体腔间皮或输卵管肌层的间皮。我们报告一例起源于输卵管浆膜表面的软骨瘤并复习相关文献。一名30岁女性因左侧附件包块入院。手术中发现左侧输卵管浆膜区域有一个2×3cm大小的结节状肿块。切除的肿块呈多叶状，表面覆盖薄层纤维膜。切面实性，灰黄色，黏液样，有局灶性胶冻样区域。显微镜下可见成熟的良性软骨岛和细长小叶，无细胞异型性。
