primary fallopian tube carcinoma is a rare tumor that histologically and clinically resembles epithelial ovarian cancer. here we introduce a case of tubal carcinoma in a postmenopausal woman. the diagnosis of primary fallopian tube carcinoma is rarely considered preoperatively and is usually first appreciated by the pathologist. because of low frequency of tubal carcinoma, there are few systemi...

isolated fallopian tube torsion is rare and often difficult to diagnose. definitive diagnosis is always made at laparoscopic or via laparotomy exploration performed for suspected ovarian torsion. early diagnosis and conservative laparoscopic treatment especially in a reproductive age woman is warranted as a means of preserving fallopian tube integrity and maintaining fertility. here, we describ...

BACKGROUND Fractalkine is a CX(3)C chemokine that has chemoattractant activity for T cells, monocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. The objective of this study was 2-fold: to evaluate (i) the presence of fractalkine in the Fallopian tube and (ii) the existence of CX(3)CR1 (fractalkine receptor) in ejaculated sperm. METHODS AND RESULTS Western blot analysis revealed that fractalkine protein w...

Background: The fallopian tube serves as optimal environment for the transport of gamets, fertilization and early development of embryo. In this study, the morphological assessment of superovulated mice fallopian tube were investigated at window implantation period. Materials and Methods: Female mice were superovualated then were mated with vasectomized mice; the mice were divided in experiment...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the fallopian tube of women with infertility and to observe whether there are any significant differences in the hysterosalpingogram findings with regard to prevalence of tubal block in women with primary and secondary infertility. methods: a retrospective study of unilateral and bilateral tubal obstruction in hysterosalpingogram of women wi...

conclusion hsg is considered to have a high sensitivity and specificity. hsg and laparoscopy are not alternative, but are the complementary methods in the examination of no tubal patency. results the sensitivity and specificity of hsg on bilateral tubal patency or no bilateral tubal patency were 92.1% and 85.7% respectively. the positive and negative predictive values were 97.2% and 66.7%, and ...

Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is extremely rare and the preoperative diagnosis is often misdiagnosed as an ovarian carcinoma. We report a patient with primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube, strongly suspected preoperatively on the basis of characteristic clinical symptoms, elevated CA125 levels, and transvaginal sonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging finding...

We report the case of a 74-year-old woman with a primary mucinous borderline tumor of the fallopian tube coexisting with an ovarian mucinous borderline tumor. Data were obtained through histopathologic study of the excised surgical specimen. p53, estrogen receptor (ER) and PAX8 expression were evaluated by immunohistochemistry on the available right fallopian tube and ovary. Both the ovarian an...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical effect of fallopian tube obstruction recanalization by ozone. METHODS Total 116 cases of patients undergoing the fallopian tube obstruction were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group, with 58 cases in each group. All patients underwent the interventional fallopian tube recanalization. The patients in the experimental group underwe...

Torsion of the fallopian tube is less frequent. Indeed, isolated bilateral fallopian tube torsion is rare and often diffi cult to diagnose. The etiology of fallopian tube torsion is still uncertain, especially when this is not associated with torsion of the ovary. We present a case of the torsion of isolated bilateral fallopian tube combined with tubal endometriosis. A 30-year-old woman present...
