1/17. prolapse of the fallopian tube after hysterectomy associated with exuberant angiomyofibroblastic stroma response: a diagnostic pitfall.We report two cases of prolapse of the fallopian tube associated with an exuberant angiomyofibroblastic stroma response, which occurred after hysterectomy and which is a hitherto unreported feature of this lesion. The tumors were composed of richly vascularized stroma arranged in a retiform pattern and mildly atypical glandular inclusions, which had the morphology of tubal epithelium. The stroma of the lesion was composed of either thin bipolar cells with tapered nuclei and stellate-shaped cells with minimal amount of cytoplasm or small epithelioid-looking cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm. The tubal glandular inclusions displayed mildly atypical nuclear features. If the tubal glandular component was overlooked, these tumors might be erroneously diagnosed as mesenchymal lesions of the vagina, such as vaginal fibroepithelial polyp, angiomyofibroblastoma, aggressive angiomyxoma, or superficial myofibroblastoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/17. Post-hysterectomy fallopian tube prolapse.Post-hysterectomy fallopian tube prolapse is a rare complication with only 80 cases described since 1902. Symptoms are non-specific and often of delayed onset. Final diagnosis is confirmed by vaginal biopsy with salpingectomy being the treatment of choice, preferably performed laparoscopically. Following surgery, complete symptom resolution is usually observed and no recurrence has been reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/17. Severe epiglottic prolapse and the obscured larynx at intubation.laryngomalacia is the most common congenital anomaly of the larynx and usually involves prolapse of the arytenoids, so-called 'posterior laryngomalacia'. Most cases resolve with growth of the child and maturation of the larynx, although, rarely, significant airway obstruction can be present. Severe laryngomalacia preventing intubation is rarely encountered. We report a case of a difficult emergency intubation secondary to 'anterior laryngomalacia' in a 4-month-old boy in whom the epiglottis prolapsed posteriorly and became trapped in the laryngeal introitus. The child was referred with a diagnosis of laryngeal atresia on the basis of the intubating laryngoscopic view of no apparent epiglottis or laryngeal inlet. The child was transferred with a tube in the oesophagus that kept the child oxygenated. At the time, oxygenation was felt to be due to a coexisting tracheo-oesophageal fistula, although this was eventually found not to be the case.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.00069352078327851keywords = tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/17. Fallopian tube prolapse after abdominal hysterectomy.A 38 year old lady who had total abdominal hysterectomy, for chronic pelvic pain, presented with profuse vaginal discharge per vaginum along with a cystic pelvic mass of 10 week size. There was a polypoidal fleshy growth present in the vault. It was diagnosed to be a fallopian tube on histopathology. Patient was treated with bilateral salpingo-ophorectomy through an open laparotomy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.20277408313311keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/17. Fallopian tube prolapse after laparoscopic resection of pelvic endometriosis.BACKGROUND: Fallopian tube prolapse is an unusual but often reported complication after hysterectomy. This problem has not yet been reported in a patient undergoing laparoscopy but not hysterectomy. CASE: Fallopian tube prolapse was diagnosed in a patient after laparoscopic excision of pelvic endometriosis, without hysterectomy. The prolapsed fallopian tube was preserved by laparoscopic retrieval from the vagina and closure of the vaginoperitoneal fistula. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic surgery, when associated with the creation of a vaginoperitoneal fistula, is a risk factor for fallopian tube prolapse. This problem can be diagnosed and safely managed with a laparoscopic approach.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.40416112469967keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/17. Fallopian tube prolapse mimicking aggressive angiomyxoma.A 68-year-old woman presented with a 4-cm polypoid bleeding mass protruding from the vaginal apex 30 years after vaginal hysterectomy. laparotomy did not confirm the clinical suspicion of bowel prolapse and led to resection of the mass. Microscopic examination revealed a hypocellular edematous lesion with glandular areas resembling fallopian tube epithelium. Condensation of eosinophilic fibrils around medium sized vessels was marked. This case of fallopian tube prolapse shows an unusual resemblance of aggressive angiomyxoma and thus poses a diagnostic pitfall.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.40277408313311keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/17. Fallopian tube prolapse misdiagnosed as vault granulation tissue: a report of three cases.prolapse of the fallopian tube into the vagina is an uncommon complication caused by either vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy. Recently, however, we encountered three cases with prolapse of the fallopian tube after abdominal hysterectomy. The patients presented with vaginal bleeding. A red hemorrhagic granular mass, misdiagnosed as vaginal granulation tissue both macroscopically and microscopically, was noted at the apex of vagina. Pathologically, one case was initially diagnosed as vaginal vault granulation tissue, but there were two recurrences after excision. Microscopically, the mass had a papillary or villous outer surface with a complex pattern of tubular and glandular structures, as well as acute and chronic inflammatory infiltrates in the fibrovascular stroma. A typical ciliated tubal type of epithelium was identified, and on immunohistochemical staining for cytokeratin, attenuated epithelial cells were detected. It is necessary to receive a pathologic confirmation by performing vaginal biopsy when fallopian tube prolapse is clinically suspected, thus preventing misdiagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.60277408313311keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/17. Fallopian tube presenting as a uterine polyp.A case is reported of a patient who presented with the clinical diagnosis of a uterine polyp extruded through the cervix. Subsequently, the "polyp" was found to be a Fallopian tube which had been pulled into the uterus through a fundal perforation of curettage performed 10 months previously.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0034676039163926keywords = tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/17. Laparoscopic management of fallopian tube prolapse.Sporadic cases of fallopian tube prolapse and various methods of management have been reported since the initial case described in 1902. Two cases were managed recently by a combined vaginal and laparoscopic approach. Total salpingectomy was accomplished with minimal difficulty and limited invasiveness. A brief summary of each case and detailed description of the operative technique are presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/17. Fallopian tube prolapse after hysterectomy. A report of two cases.Two patients were treated for fallopian tube prolapse after abdominal hysterectomy. This rare complication is usually seen after vaginal hysterectomy. Our patients presented with a profuse, blood-tinged vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain two and three months after hysterectomy. The tender, fimbriated end of the fallopian tube must be distinguished from common cuff granulation tissue, one patient underwent painful cautery treatments for over a year before the correct diagnosis was made. biopsy of the prolapsed tissue in both cases failed to provide the correct diagnosis. In cases reported on previously, repair of the prolapsed tube usually was accomplished transvaginally, but in one of our patients laparotomy was required to control bleeding from the retracted proximal tube. The other patient had her prolapsed tube diagnosed and resected laparoscopically. This technique, described in detail, has the advantage of avoiding more-extensive surgery in selected cases.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.40485464548295keywords = fallopian tube, tube (Clic here for more details about this article) |
