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...

Galectin-1 and galectin-3 are abundantly expressed at implantation sites in the uterus, suggesting their involvement in the establishment of pregnancy. In this study, we examined the expression and localization of galectin-1 and galectin-3 in fallopian tubes from nonpregnant women, and in those presenting with tubal ectopic pregnancy. There was no significant difference in the expression of eit...

Tubal pregnancy concerns 97% of all ectopic pregnancies. Treatment can be either surgical (salpingostomy or salpingectomy) or medical (methotrexate administration). We present a case of a pseudotubal pregnancy after methotrexate treatment of a previous ectopic pregnancy. A37-year-old woman was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy in the left Fallopian tube. A year ago, she had an ectopic pregnancy ...

background: genital tuberculosis (tb) is an important cause of infertility in the developing countries, where hysterosalpingography (hsg) remains an initial diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of tubal and peritoneal factors leading to infertility. objective: the aim of this study was to determine the hsg findings of genital tb in infertile women. materials and methods: we retrospectively re...

INTRODUCTION Fallopian tube carcinoma is a rare gynecological malignancy with low accuracy detection preoperatively. The symptoms are unspecific and imaging can be misleading. Since it was first described in 1847, there have been only a little over 2000 case reports. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes a 66-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with progressive diffuse abdominal pai...

INTRODUCTION Prolapse of the fallopian tube after hysterectomy is a rare but known complication. Cases of prolapse of the fallopian tube through the vaginal vault have been reported after abdominal, vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomies. This is the first case report to the best of our knowledge on the prolapse of a fallopian tube through an abdominal wound after caesarean section. CASE PRES...

Study Design Case report. Objective This case exemplifies the importance of a high index of suspicion when dealing with intractable pain and neurologic symptoms in patients with a history of cancer. Fallopian tube cancer is relatively uncommon, accounting for less than 0.2% of all female malignancies. Because of a low index of suspicion, it is often detected at an advanced stage. From an orthop...
