EVALUATION OF HISTOPATHOLOGICAL SPECTRUM OF LESIONS IN FALLOPIAN TUBES - A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY
Main Article Content
Keywords
Histopathology, spectrum, Fallopian tube lesions.
Abstract
Introduction: Fallopian tubes are complex structure from ovary to endometrial cavity. The significance of pathologic changes in fallopian tube can lead to infertility, secondary sterility and maternal death. Though primary malignancy is rare, metastatic carcinoma are common and poor in prognosis. So it is essential to evaluate various histomorphology of fallopian tube. Aim: To evaluate the spectrum of lesions in fallopian tube. Study designed as Cross sectional for a period of 6 months in the Department of Pathology.
Materials and methods: Total 212 Fallopian tube section are evaluated and categorized in the spectrum as inflammatory, benign and malignant.
Results: Out of 212 fallopian tube section, 36%-unremarkable, 18%-hydrosalphinx, 18%-congested and edematous, 10%-paratubalcyst, 8%-ectopic and some conditions in minor percentage.
Conclusion: Most of the sections are unremarkable and beningn. But we should keep in mind that minimal infection and inflammation can end in infertility. The next possibility is Precursor Lesion like STIC can cause malignancy in future. So it is essential to examine fallopian tube thoroughly.
