OBJECTIVE Some ovarian malignancies may originate in the fallopian tube. The feasibility of ultrasonographically visualizing the fallopian tube is presented. METHODS In total, 549 normal women participated in the fallopian tube visualization trial, while ovarian visualization was studied in 43,521. Chi-square analysis, t-tests and multivariate analysis determined significance and interactions...

OBJECTIVE To assess if the risk of first-time salpingectomy was affected by prior hysterectomy with retained fallopian tubes and by prior sterilisation. DESIGN A historical cohort study. SETTING Denmark. PARTICIPANTS 170 000 randomly selected women born 1947-1963 (10 000/year) were followed from 1977 until the end of 2010. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Effect of hysterectomy with retained fallo...

  Background and Objective: The Fallopian tube plays an essential role in tubal transportof both gametes and embryos and successful pregnancy. We assessed the histomorphological effect of smoking on the fallopian tubes in rats, in this study. Patients and Methods: Twelve female rats were divided to two groups as subjects (n=7) and controls (n=5). They have been exposed to smoke four times dai...

INTRODUCTION Leiomyoma of the fallopian tube is extremely rare, and its version - leiomyoma cellulare (LC) of the fallopian tube is absolutely unique. Aim of the study was to review literature reports on leiomyomas of the fallopian tubes, and to present cases of leiomyoma and LC of the fallopian tubes in the patients operated on in our ward. MATERIAL AND METHODS There were fewer than 100 case...

INTRODUCTION Serous carcinomas are the most frequent histologic type of ovarian and peritoneal cancers, and can also be detected in the endometrium and fallopian tubes. Serous carcinomas are usually high-grade neoplasms when diagnosed, yet the identification of an associated precursor lesion remains challenging. Pathological examination of specimens obtained from prophylactic bilateral salpingo...

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...
