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...

Lymphoid and myeloid cell populations in human endometrium are well-documented and are known to play important roles in providing immune tolerance, controlling trophoblast invasion, and mediating vascular remodeling. Immune cell populations in the Fallopian tube have not been comprehensively studied. The aim of this study was to characterize lymphoid and myeloid cell populations in non-pregnant...

Benign solid teratomas within the fallopian tube are rare. The incidence of this kind of benign solid teratoma of the fallopian tube associated with intrauterine leiomyomas is extremely low and may complicate the clinical manifestations. Here, we report a 40-year-old female with periodic lower abdominal pain and hypermenorrhea who was found to have 3 nodules within the uterine myometrium and le...

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...

isolated fallopian tube torsion is rare and often difficult to diagnose. definitive diagnosis is always made at laparoscopic or via laparotomy exploration performed for suspected ovarian torsion. early diagnosis and conservative laparoscopic treatment especially in a reproductive age woman is warranted as a means of preserving fallopian tube integrity and maintaining fertility. here, we describ...

BACKGROUND Fractalkine is a CX(3)C chemokine that has chemoattractant activity for T cells, monocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. The objective of this study was 2-fold: to evaluate (i) the presence of fractalkine in the Fallopian tube and (ii) the existence of CX(3)CR1 (fractalkine receptor) in ejaculated sperm. METHODS AND RESULTS Western blot analysis revealed that fractalkine protein w...

Background: The fallopian tube serves as optimal environment for the transport of gamets, fertilization and early development of embryo. In this study, the morphological assessment of superovulated mice fallopian tube were investigated at window implantation period. Materials and Methods: Female mice were superovualated then were mated with vasectomized mice; the mice were divided in experiment...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the fallopian tube of women with infertility and to observe whether there are any significant differences in the hysterosalpingogram findings with regard to prevalence of tubal block in women with primary and secondary infertility. methods: a retrospective study of unilateral and bilateral tubal obstruction in hysterosalpingogram of women wi...

conclusion hsg is considered to have a high sensitivity and specificity. hsg and laparoscopy are not alternative, but are the complementary methods in the examination of no tubal patency. results the sensitivity and specificity of hsg on bilateral tubal patency or no bilateral tubal patency were 92.1% and 85.7% respectively. the positive and negative predictive values were 97.2% and 66.7%, and ...
