Abstract

Endosalpingiosis is defined as ectopic tubal epithelium and is considered homologous with endometriosis. In its usual form, the lesion is asymptomatic and has no serious prognostic associations. Recognition of endosalpingiosis, however, is important in avoiding overdiagnosis of disseminated lesions. The possibility of carcinoma--usually serous--arising primarily in a focus of endosalpingiosis is discussed.

摘要

输卵管内膜异位症被定义为异位的输卵管上皮，被认为与子宫内膜异位症同源。在其常见形式中，该病变无症状且无严重的预后关联。然而，认识输卵管内膜异位症对于避免对播散性病变的过度诊断很重要。本文讨论了主要在输卵管内膜异位症病灶中发生癌（通常为浆液性癌）的可能性。
