Hysterosalpingography (HSG) has become a commonly performed examination due to recent advances and improvements in, as well as the increasing popularity of, reproductive medicine. HSG plays an important role in the evaluation of abnormalities related to the uterus and fallopian tubes. Uterine abnormalities that can be detected at HSG include congenital anomalies, polyps, leiomyomas, surgical ch...

mass is complex and includes functional cysts, benign and malignant ovarian tumors, paraovarian cysts, tuboovarian abscesses, hydrosalpinx, ectopic pregnancies, tubal malignancy, broad ligament fibroid, fimbrial cysts, sigmoid colon or colon distended with gasses or feces, pelvic kidney, and pregnancy in bicornuate uterus. These masses pose both a diagnostic and management dilemma. Ultrasonogra...

Borderline para-ovarian cysts (PCs) are rare entities. They are commonly present in the third decade. Borderline PCs are often discovered fortuitously on routine ultrasound examination or they are common incidental findings during a laparotomy. They must be differentiated from simple ovarian cysts, peritoneal inclusion cysts and hydrosalpinges on ultrasound sonography. Papillary projections on ...

At necropsy indication of spread of infection to fallopian tubes was found in 25 of 41 (60%) female guinea pigs infected in the genital tract with the chlamydial agent of guinea pig inclusion conjunctivitis and immunosuppressed with cyclophosphamide. Eighteen were examined histologically, and the diagnosis of acute salpingitis was confirmed in 10, based on inflammatory reaction, detection of gu...

Reproductive surgery could be divided into surgery as a primary treatment for infertility, surgery to enhance in-vitro fertilization outcome, and surgery for fertility preservation. Tubal disease accounts for 25%–35% of female factor infertility. A successful tubal repair gives the patient the possibility of conceiving more than once without further treatment. It also gives the couple the psych...

Ovarian incidentalomas are reported in 5-18% of asymptomatic females in cross sectional imaging. Even in oncologic patients the majority of these lesions will be benign, with hydrosalpinx and ovarian cysts as leading diagnoses. Special emphasis should be given to adnexal lesions in patients with history of primaries from the GI tract or breast cancer, both of which have a propensity to metastas...

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...

Definitively diagnosing primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) prior to surgery is difficult. In the first working diagnosis, PFTC is often misdiagnosed as ovarian cancer. Preoperative workups using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are capable of differentiating PFTC from epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOCs). Both the sensitivity and the specificity of MRI for identifying PFTC are high. The pr...
