Microscopic evidence of silent inflammation in grossly normal fallopian tubes with ectopic pregnancy.

A normal laparoscopic examination of the pelvis in an infertile patient is usually considered sufficient evidence of normal tubal function. Twelve of 27 tubal ectopic pregnancies which occurred over a 4-year period in patients attending an infertility clinic were in patients with a previously "normal" laparoscopy. In eight patients, salpingectomy was performed, and the whole tube was available for examination by a single pathologist. The eight fallopian tubes, thoroughly examined histologically, all had evidence of ongoing, low-grade salpingitis or postinflammatory endosalpingeal disorganization in areas away from the ectopic pregnancy. These findings suggest that laparoscopy does not exclude significant microscopic tubal disease in at least some women with an apparently normal pelvis, and that this may be a cause of ectopic pregnancy and perhaps "idiopathic" infertility.

Synchronous papillary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the endocervix and fallopian tubes.

A unique case of synchronous, trifocal mucinous papillary adenocarcinoma involving the uterine cervix and both fallopian tubes is presented. Unequivocal carcinoma in situ changes are demonstrated in all three primary sites. A discussion of synchronous development of malignancies of the female genital tract and differentiation from contiguous or metastatic spread of a single primary focus follows.

Port-site metastases of adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube after laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy.

Port-site metastases following laparoscopic surgery for cancer constitute an emerging problem. We report a case of cutaneous metastasis at a port site following laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy for unsuspected adenocarcinoma of the fallopian tube. This complication occurred 7 months postoperatively and was treated with resection. A single site was involved. Possible etiologies are implantation from "contaminated" instruments or dissemination of tumor cells by the positive-pressure pneumoperitoneum. Preventive measures include precise and clean surgical technique, the use of a nonporous bag, postoperative trocar-site excision or irradiation, and conversion to laparotomy either intra- or postoperatively.

Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube in a Nigerian.

The first documented report of a rare neoplasm, primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube in a postmenopausal Nigerian is presented. The patient complained of postmenopausal bleeding which persisted after curettage and satisfactory treatment of a pre-existing senile vaginitis and cervicitis. The diagnosis of tubal carcinoma was made only at the time of exploratory laparotomy at which a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and confirmed at histopathological examination of the specimen. Problems relating to its unusual symptomatology, its association with pelvic inflammatory disease and pelvic tuberculosis, diagnostic difficulties, choice of treatment and factors that may influence survival are discussed.

Amylase in fallopian tube and serous ovarian neoplasms: immunohistochemical localization.

We studied the cellular localization of amylase in normal Fallopian tubes and serous ovarian neoplasms using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. The primary antiserum was against human pancreatic amylase, and was found to inhibit ovarian tumor amylase as well. Amylase was present in normal endosalpingeal epithelium and in the epithelial cells of benign, borderline, and malignant serous ovarian tumors. A mucinous cystadenoma was also studied and contained no amylase. This localization suggests that amylase production by serous ovarian neoplasms reflects the endosalpingeal differentiation of these tumors. Antibody to amylase may be potentially useful in distinguishing serous ovarian tumors from other forms of ovarian neoplasia.

Contribution of lactic acid by the ampullary and isthmic parts of rabbit Fallopian tube under altered hormonal conditions.

The capability of the ampullary and isthmic parts of the rabbit Fallopian tube to contribute lactic acid (LA) to the tubal lumen was examined using an in vitro method of study. In addition concomitant study was also made using the uterus. It was found that in the oestrous rabbit, the isthmus contributed LA at a higher rate than that of the ampulla; the uterine contribution was minimal. Ovariectomy reduced while exogenous oestrogen enhanced this ability in all the three tissues. In mated post-ovulatory rabbits the contributory efficiency of either tubal part changed and appeared to exhibit a peak value in the presence of the ovum; the uterus showed no such changes. This is discussed in relation to the ability of the egg to secure its energy source until it attained morula/the pre-blastocyst stage.

Ultrastructural localization of alkaline and acid phosphatases in the human fallopian tube epithelium during the menstrual cycle.

Ultrastructural and cytochemical methods were utilized to study the human Fallopian tube fimbrial epithelium during the different stages of the menstrual cycle. Alkaline phosphatase reaction product was located along the apical and lateral plasma membranes of the secretory cells only, regardless of the stage of the cycle. The ciliated cells were almost devoid of any reaction product at all stages of the cycle. Acid phosphatase reaction product depicted the lysosomes. These appeared as electron-dense bodies, of almost equal numbers in the ciliated and the secretory cells at all stages of the cycle. Thus the number of lysosomes did not vary appreciable during the different stages of the menstrual cycle. Many lipid droplets were found in both cells; these were rimmed by acid phosphatase reaction product, and some were partially enveloped by electron-dense bodies containing acid phosphatase deposits. Acid phosphatase deposits were also found on the inner face of Golgi vesicles.
