Endosalpingiosis is defined as the ectopic location of benign ciliated tubal epithelium outside of the fallopian tubes. It is a rare entity that was previously regarded as an incidental finding on pathology, and is becoming more prevalent within the medical literature. Diagnosis is made based on histologic sampling. There are no specific radiological features but commonly reported findings include numerous cystic and solid masses scattered throughout the pelvis. Common ectopic locations seen on imaging include the serosa of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and the pelvic cul-de-sac. Less common locations include the bladder wall, omentum, bowel serosa, and skin. We present the clinical presentation of a patient with histologically proven endosalpingiosis. Atypical imaging findings and correlative histology are also reviewed.
输卵管内膜异位症的定义为良性纤毛输卵管上皮在输卵管以外的异位位置。它是一种罕见的病症,以前在病理学上被视为偶然发现,且在医学文献中越来越常见。诊断基于组织学取样。没有特定的放射学特征,但常见的报告发现包括散布于整个盆腔的大量囊性和实性肿块。影像学上常见的异位位置包括子宫浆膜、输卵管、卵巢和盆腔陷凹。较少见的位置包括膀胱壁、大网膜、肠浆膜和皮肤。我们展示了一名经组织学证实为输卵管内膜异位症患者的临床表现。还回顾了非典型影像学表现及相关组织学情况。
