Benign solid teratomas within the fallopian tube are rare. The incidence of this kind of benign solid teratoma of the fallopian tube associated with intrauterine leiomyomas is extremely low and may complicate the clinical manifestations. Here, we report a 40-year-old female with periodic lower abdominal pain and hypermenorrhea who was found to have 3 nodules within the uterine myometrium and left distended fallopian tube. Final pathology revealed benign solid teratoma of the fallopian tube associated with 3 intrauterine leiomyomas. Primary teratoma of the fallopian tube is extremely uncommon. Gynecologic oncologists should be aware of the possibility of this disease entity when making differential diagnoses.
输卵管内的良性实性畸胎瘤很罕见。这种与子宫平滑肌瘤相关的输卵管良性实性畸胎瘤的发生率极低，可能会使临床表现复杂化。在此，我们报告一名40岁女性，她有周期性下腹痛和月经过多，被发现子宫肌层内有3个结节，左侧输卵管扩张。最终病理显示为输卵管良性实性畸胎瘤，伴有3个子宫平滑肌瘤。原发性输卵管畸胎瘤极为罕见。妇科肿瘤学家在进行鉴别诊断时应意识到这种疾病实体的可能性。
