Presence of stem cells in the female genital tract has been reported; however stem cell status of Fallopian tube remains unexplored. In the present study, we show for the first timean existence of stem cells in a Fallopian tube. A pure population of mesenchymal like cells was obtained from the Fallopian tube samples from patients undergoing hysterectomy. The immunocytochemistry of these cells r...

Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube in premenarcheal girls is very rare. However, correct diagnosis and treatment are needed in order to optimize salvage of fallopian tube. Here, we report a case of fallopian tube torsion in a premenarcheal girl. A 12-year-old premenarcheal girl was admitted with a rapid history of colicky lower abdominal pain. MR image demonstrated normal ovaries and a larg...

Video legend: Laparoscopic appearance of adhesions in posterior uterine cul de sac due to previous pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). In the first screen, ovary (white in appearance) is located in the middle, fallopian tube (reddish-tan) is to the left and the metallic tip of the manipulating probe is to the right. In the subsequent frames, the adhesions in the posterior cul de sac. (Quicktime ...

background: carcinoma of the fallopian tube is extremely uncommon neoplasm, accounting for only 0.3% of gynecologic cancers. case: a 17-year-old female patient presented with clinical symptoms of right side deep pelvic pain. ultrasound examination reveals right adenxal mass with breakdown suggesting neoplastic lesion or tubo-ovarian abscess. she was diagnosed clinically as tubo-ovarian mass for...

Ovarian and fallopian tube cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a rare finding, reported mostly in autopsy studies of immunocompromised patients. We report here a case of CMV salpingitis in a 22-year-old female, with Crohn's disease and on immunosuppressive drugs. The fallopian tube involvement by CMV infection was an incidental finding during resection of a large, matted mass involving the appen...

Background Liposarcoma, which develops in adipose tissue, is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas. It appears mostly in the lower limbs, particularly in the thigh and limb girdles, followed by the upper extremities, thoracoabdominal wall, and the internal trunk and retroperitoneum. Pleomorphic liposarcoma (PLS), a rare subtype of liposarcoma is considered a highgrade malignancy. Case p...

Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is the cornerstone of ovarian cancer prevention in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. Occult fallopian tube and ovarian cancers have been reported in a small percentage of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers undergoing RRSO. Here, we review our single-institution experience with RRSO in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers to characterize cases of microscopic cancers in these pati...

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 transmembrane protein gp130 plays a central role in cytokine action as a signal transducing receptor subunit common to all interleukin-6 type cytokines. The expression of IL-6 is significantly increased near the implantation site in tubes with ectopic gestation as compared with normal.Thus, current study was designed to investigated the expression of gp130 in fallopian tubes wit...

INTRODUCTION Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is a rare cause of acute lower abdominal pain and infrequent indication for surgical treatment. CASE OUTLINE A 16-year-old girl was referred to the hospital due to the non-specific symptoms over period of a few months and pain acutization in the right infraumbilical region lasting for two days. Complete laboratory analyses were normal. Ultra...
