Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is the cornerstone of ovarian cancer prevention in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. Occult fallopian tube and ovarian cancers have been reported in a small percentage of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers undergoing RRSO. Here, we review our single-institution experience with RRSO in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers to characterize cases of microscopic cancers in these pati...

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 transmembrane protein gp130 plays a central role in cytokine action as a signal transducing receptor subunit common to all interleukin-6 type cytokines. The expression of IL-6 is significantly increased near the implantation site in tubes with ectopic gestation as compared with normal.Thus, current study was designed to investigated the expression of gp130 in fallopian tubes wit...

INTRODUCTION Isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is a rare cause of acute lower abdominal pain and infrequent indication for surgical treatment. CASE OUTLINE A 16-year-old girl was referred to the hospital due to the non-specific symptoms over period of a few months and pain acutization in the right infraumbilical region lasting for two days. Complete laboratory analyses were normal. Ultra...

In the field of gynecology, infertility treatment in particular, laparoscopy continues to be the gold standard for the evaluation of mechanical factors affecting the fallopian tubes. However, it cannot be used to directly observe the inner cavity of the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube is more than a passive conduit for gametes and early embryos; it also plays an important role in many reprod...

As part of successful human reproduction, the Fallopian tube must provide a suitable environment for pre-implantation development of the embryo and for efficient transport of the embryo to the uterus for implantation. These functions are coordinated by paracrine interactions between tubal epithelial, smooth muscle and immune cells and the cells of the developing embryo. Alterations in these sig...

BACKGROUND: Fallopian tube prolapse as a complication of abdominal hysterectomy is a rare occurrence. A case with fallopian tube prolapse was managed by a combined vaginal and laparoscopic approach and description of the operative technique is presented. CASE PRESENTATION: A 39-year-old woman with vaginal prolapse of the fallopian tube after total abdominal hysterectomy presented with an incorr...

background: human hydatid disease is caused by echinococcus granulosus and has a global distribution. it mainly affects the liver, but can involve other organs. in this paper, we present a case of a primary hydatid cyst of the fallopian tube. case presentation: a 69-year-old (gravida 16, para 16 woman) with abdominal pain and urinary frequency was presented to the gynecology clinic of imam khom...

OBJECTIVE To propose a new theory describing the development of the fallopian tube fimbria. DESIGN Case series report. SETTING Metropolitan tertiary care children's hospital. PATIENT(S) Two girls, aged 12 and 20 years, who presented with pelvic pain. INTERVENTION(S) Magnetic resonance imaging, laparoscopy with salpingectomy, and pathologic analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Description...

Benign solid tumors of the fallopian tubes are extremely rare and often difficult to differentiate from tumors associated with adjacent organs or from various inflammatory diseases. Here, we present a patient who was diagnosed with ectopic pregnancy, based on preoperative tests and intraoperative macroscopic findings, but was later diagnosed with a fallopian tube adenofibroma, based on histopat...
