Neoplasms of the fallopian tube are extremely uncommon. In addition, the incidence of a mature teratoma of the fallopian tube with incomplete uterine mediastinum is extremely low. In the current case report, we present a case of mature cystic teratoma of the fallopian tube with incomplete uterine mediastinum in a 23-year-old female. This mass was noted on computed tomography (CT) scan and sonog...

An unusual case of a second ipsilateral ectopic pregnancy following a partial (proximal) salpingectomy for ectopic gestation is presented in a 32-year-old woman with a history of secondary infertility. This occurred in the distal remnant of the left fallopian tube. It is postulated that the pregnancy was conceived following migration of spermatozoa or the fertilised egg from the endometrial cav...

Currently, it is widely accepted that the vast majority of ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) originate from the fallopian tube. However, due to the lack of markers or tools for the ovarian cancer identification, the early detection of HGSC remains challenging. Direct sampling of the fallopian tube can enhance sensitivity for detection of neoplastic cells when the tumor is not grossly v...

Fallopian tube torsion secondary to an adnexal tumor presents with nonspecific symptoms, and preoperative diagnosis is challenging. We report two cases of hydrosalpinx paraovarian cyst accompanying fallopian that clinically presented recurrent mild lower abdominal pain.

Background: IL-6 is a proinflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokine to be very high in endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease, which are known risk factors for ectopic pregnancy(EP). The effects of IL-6 on target cells occur via the formation of a high-affinity complex with IL-6Ra that expressed in the cilia of the epithelial cells. In the present study,we compared expression of IL-6Ra i...

Torsion of the fallopian tube without the involvement of the ipsilateral ovary is a rare but important cause of acute abdominal pain in women as it is a surgical emergency. Although uncommon, it should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis in female children presenting with acute lower abdominal or pelvic pain. The diagnosis of isolated fallopian tube torsion is difficult pre-opera...

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...

We describe a 65-year-old woman with subacute cerebellar syndrome expressed as severe ataxia, and the presence of anti Purkinje cell antibodies (Anti-Yo). A small adnexal mass was only evident on PET CT with the pathological feature of fallopian tube adenocarcinoma. Anti-Yo antibodies have been strongly associated with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, and nearly always associated to ovar...

BACKGROUND Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is rarely caused by fallopian tube adenocarcinoma. CASE We present a patient with PCD and fallopian tube cancer. Anti-Yo antibody, one of an anti-neuronal antibody, was positive in serum and cerebrospinal fluid. She was also positive for HLA A24, which is common in patients with PCD. Radical surgery did not significantly ameliorate her n...
