Second Look of Endosalpingiosis: A Rare Entity.

Abstract

Endosalpingiosis is a rare condition characterized by the presence of tubal epithelium outside the fallopian tube [1]. The most accepted pathogenesis for this condition is metaplastic change of the coelomic epithelium into tubal-like epithelium [1]. Like endometriosis, endosalpingiosis is also classified as a lesion of secondary Mullerian system. It is a rare gynecological condition usually seen in females in reproductive age [2]. It is not unusual to find endosalpingiosis associated with endometriosis or endocervicosis, although it often appears alone. One retrospective study showed concurrent presence of endometriosis in 34.5% patients of endosalpingiosis [3]. The same study also quoted a strong correlation between endosalpingiosis and gynecological malignancy in premenopausal females (p value <0.0001) with no significant correlation in postmenopausal females. We published a case report on endosalpingiosis in the British Medical Journal of case reports in the year 2014. The present report is a follow-up of the same patient after 2 years and 6 months.
