"Endosalpingiosis" refers to the presence of fallopian tube-like epithelium outside fallopian tubes. It merits attention both by Clinicians and Pathologists since it is a benign, non- neoplastic condition which maybe easily misjudged as carcinoma mainly due to the rarity of its occurrence and lack of awareness owing to paucity of its documentation in literature. Further, salpingiosis can undergo massive cystic change thereby mimicking a tumour when it is referred to as cystic salpingiosis. We present one such extremely rare case of cystic salpingiosis of uterine parametrium in a 40-year-old lady along with an extensive review of literature which revealed that about 10 cases have been documented till date.
“输卵管内膜异位症”是指输卵管外出现类似输卵管的上皮组织。临床医生和病理学家都应予以关注,因为它是一种良性非肿瘤性疾病,主要由于其发病率低且文献记载较少,人们对其认识不足,所以很容易被误诊为癌症。此外,输卵管内膜异位症可发生巨大囊性变,当被称为囊性输卵管内膜异位症时,会酷似肿瘤。我们报告了一位40岁女性子宫旁囊性输卵管内膜异位症的极其罕见病例,并对文献进行了广泛回顾,结果显示迄今为止约有10例相关病例被记录在案。
