Endosalpingiosis is a nonneoplastic lesion defined by the presence of tubal epithelium at ectopic sites such as the peritoneum, bladder, appendix, and even uterus. They may be asymptomatic and detected incidentally on ultrasonography. However, cystic endosalpingiosis is also known to be a mimicker of ovarian neoplasms. It is crucial for both the clinician and the pathologist to be aware of this benign lesion so that overdiagnosis and overtreatment can be avoided. We report a case of endosalpingiosis of the uterine serosa in a 45-year-old woman which was misdiagnosed as an adnexal cyst on radiological investigations.
输卵管内膜异位症是一种非肿瘤性病变，其特征是在异位部位（如腹膜、膀胱、阑尾甚至子宫）存在输卵管上皮。它们可能无症状，在超声检查时偶然发现。然而，囊性输卵管内膜异位症也被认为是卵巢肿瘤的模仿者。临床医生和病理学家都必须了解这种良性病变，以避免过度诊断和过度治疗。我们报告一例45岁女性子宫浆膜层输卵管内膜异位症病例，该病例在影像学检查中被误诊为附件囊肿。
