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...

The epithelial lining of the fallopian tube is of critical importance for human reproduction and has been implicated as a site of origin of high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Here we report on the establishment of long-term, stable 3D organoid cultures from human fallopian tubes, indicative of the presence of adult stem cells. We show that single epithelial stem cells in vitro can give rise to d...

Case 1: Serous tubal cancer detected on PAP smear A 60 year old woman with a history of breast cancer was referred after malignant cells were found on PAP smear. Abdominal exam, cervical visualisation, transvaginal ultrasound and CT of the abdomen and pelvis were all normal. Endocervical and endometrial curettings demonstrated serous carcinoma cells consistent with tubal / ovarian origin. CA125...

A case of fallopian tube fimbrial cyst torsion with haemorrhage is presented, occurring in a 37-year-old female who had tubal ligation 6 years back. She presented in emergency with acute abdomen. Initial assessment of ovarian cyst haemorrhage or torsion was made. Ultrasound showed cystic structures in left adnexa and complex cyst in right adnexa with suspicion of torsion. Laparoscopy was perfor...

BACKGROUND Primary high-grade serous peritoneal carcinoma (PPSC) is a rare malignancy with an ambiguous pathogenesis. CASE REPORT We report on a 51-year-old woman presenting with a routine smear test cytology suspicious of adenocarcinoma. She underwent hysteroscopy, laparsocopy with multiple biopsies and bilateral salpingoophorectomy. She was diagnosed with a serous tubal intraepithelial carc...

BACKGROUND Current methods of female surgical sterilisation require incisional surgery, general anaesthesia and a prolonged recovery time. We studied the safety and effectiveness of Essure pbc, a minimally invasive, transcervically placed micro-insert that occludes the Fallopian tubes, resulting in permanent female contraception. Device under study: The Essure pbc implant is a dynamically expan...

Aim: The aim of this prospective study was to know the variable histopathological changes in the fallopian tube after having ectopic gestation and its correlation with predisposing factors. Materials and Methods: 100 fallopian tubes having ectopic gestation for study group and 25 fallopian tubes received after sterilization operation for control group submitted in department of pathology betwee...

Introduction: There has been a scarcity of cases of isolated fallopian tubes torsion in the literature. Case Description: Isolated fallopian tube torsion in a 27-year-old woman was associated with a hydrosalpinx. Laparoscopic detorsion of the right fallopian tube was performed within 24 hours of the onset of clinical symptoms. Surgical management was based on evaluation of tubal status and visu...
