A Case of Fallopian Tube Adenofibroma: Difficulties Associated with Differentiation from Ectopic Pregnancy

Benign solid tumors of the fallopian tubes are extremely rare and often difficult to differentiate from tumors associated with adjacent organs or from various inflammatory diseases. Here, we present a patient who was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, based on preoperative tests and intraoperative macroscopic findings, but was later diagnosed with a fallopian tube adenofibroma, based on histopat...

Laparoscopic repair of irreducible femoral hernia containing the fallopian tube alone: a case report

BACKGROUND We offer the first report of laparoscopic repair of an irreducible femoral hernia containing the fallopian tube alone. CASE PRESENTATION An 84-year-old woman presented with a 2-week history of a right groin mass with no abdominal symptoms. The mass was located below the inguinal ligament but showed no redness or tenderness. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a 4 × 3-cm cyst...

Salpingectomy or proximal tubal occlusion of unilateral hydrosalpinx increases the potential for spontaneous pregnancy.

BACKGROUND Studies carried out over the past 10 years have suggested that hydrosalpinges reduce the pregnancy rate in IVF. Here we report our observations of spontaneous pregnancies in patients who underwent salpingectomy (n = 18) or proximal tubal occlusion (n = 7) following diagnoses of unilateral hydrosalpinges and patent contralateral tubes. METHODS This multi-centre, retrospective study ...

Laparoscopy or laparotomy for distal tubal surgery? A meta-analysis.

Of couples with subfertility, 25% have complete or partial blockage of the fallopian tube. Since the advent of in vitro fertilization (IVF), the role of tubal surgery has diminished. However, this type of surgery continues to be undertaken on selected patients with mild tubal disease, and in those with severe tubal disease, in centres where IVF is not available. This systematic review was under...
