Malignant mixed müllerian tumors (MMMT) are unusual neoplasms occurring mostly in the uterus. In the ovary, they are very rare and represent fewer than 1% of all ovarian malignancies; in the salpinx, they are even rarer than those of the ovary. We report a carcinosarcoma of the left adnexa having features of neuroendocrine differentiation in a 69-year-old female. The tumor contained both adenoc...

The antituberculosis drugs isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RMP), pyrazinamide (PZA), and ethambutol (EMB) usually expose patients to the risk of fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). This report presents a case of liver transplantation in antituberculosis drugs-induced FHF and reviews the relevant literature. A 39-year-old woman with pelvic and salpinx tuberculosis experienced complex pelvic exenterati...

OBJECTIVE The fallopian tube is considered as the site of origin of serous ovarian cancer, and risk-reducing salpingectomy (RRS) has been proposed as a new and safe strategy for preventing ovarian cancer. However, little is known about the public perception of RRS. METHODS We performed a questionnaire survey of 100 healthy female volunteers in November 2014. Questionnaire for this survey incl...

Abstract Hydrosalpinx is a disease characterized by the obstruction of salpinx, with progressive accumulation in shape fluid-filled sac at distal part tuba uterina, and closed to ovary. Women hydrosalpinges have lower implantation pregnancy rates due combination mechanical chemical factors thought disrupt endometrial environment. Evidence suggests that presence hydrosalpinx reduces rate assiste...

ObjectiveTo conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the effect of hydrosalpinx on pregnancy outcomes, to compare different types management their impact rates as well ovarian reserve.Data SourcesElectronic search using Pubmed, EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov, Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials including all published studies that examined tubal...
