Isolated fallopian tube torsion is an uncommon cause of acute low abdominal pain in women. We present a case of 18-year-old virgin girl with isolated right fallopian tube torsion. She was admitted to the Emergency Department of our hospital with abdominal pain. Pelvic ultrasound revealed bilateral enlarged ovaries containig 4 cm and 3 cm cystic masses and some free fluid in the pouch of Douglas...

OBJECTIVE Extrauterine involvement of endometrial carcinoma has a significant effect on the patients' prognosis and treatment decision. In classical method, macroscopic section is taken from the fallopian tube sparing the fimbrial ends. Fimbrial end of fallopian tube may be involved by tumors and precursor lesions. This study aims to determine the importance of sampling of fimbrial ends of fall...

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy affecting American women. Current hypotheses concerning the etiology of ovarian cancer propose that a reduction in the lifetime number of ovulations decreases ovarian cancer risk. Advanced serous carcinoma shares several biomarkers with fallopian tube epithelial cells, suggesting that some forms of ovarian carcinoma may originate in the...

Ciliary ultrastructure was studied and quantitatively estimated in a 27-year-old sterile woman suffering from complete KS. Ciliated epithelium was obtained from both nasal mucosa and a fallopian tube. Cilia from both locations were devoid of DA. Various MT abnormalities were found in 16 percent of respiratory epithelial and 21 percent of fallopian tube ciliary cross-sections. The abnormality re...

BACKGROUND Magnetized water has made many improvements in industry, agriculture and medicine. However its utilization in medicine still remains controversial. OBJECTIVE In this study we aimed to investigate the effects of magnetized water on height of epithelial cells in pre-implantation stage endometrium and fallopian tube and number of corpus lutea in female mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ei...

OBJECTIVE The fallopian tube is now recognized as a primary source of precursor neoplastic lesions for pelvic serous adenocarcinomas. Cytologic features of fallopian tube brushings from low-risk patients have not been well described. STUDY DESIGN We describe the cytomorphology of tubal epithelium from prospectively collected experimental in vivo brushings from normal fallopian tubes of 7 low-...

To compared the consistency regarding tubal patency diagnosis among delayed films at 4h, 6h and 24h after hysterosalpingography (HSG) with ethiodized poppy-seed oil, so as to explore effect of shortening retardation image on diagnosis. This study retrospectively enrolled 29 spontaneous menstrual, HSG indication qualified females, who underwent oil for assessment. During operation, plain film, u...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether occlusive salpingitis isthmica nodosa associated with endometriosis can be diagnosed by microlaparoscopy and managed with medical therapy using leuprolide acetate. METHODS This was a prospective, nonrandomized study conducted at a university hospital and a private community hospital. It included women with occlusive salpingitis isthmica nodosa associated with end...

Assisted reproduction technique (ART) is a known risk factor for ectopic pregnancy (EP). Ovarian (OEP) rare but well-known variant of EP, which carries diagnostic challenges & mostly diagnosed intraoperatively. Fibroid common medical problem, it not yet recognised OEP. Risk factors as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis or fibroids can alter fallopian tube patency results in EP. In t...

Epidemiological studies have shown that cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for tubal ectopic pregnancy but the reason for this remains unclear. Here, we set out to determine the effect of smoking on Fallopian tube gene expression. An oviductal epithelial cell line (OE-E6/E7) and explants of human Fallopian tubes from non-pregnant women (n = 6) were exposed to physiologically relevant conc...
