Pregnancy in heterotopic fallopian tube and unilateral ovarian hyperstimulation.

A rare genital anomaly is described, consisting of a right hemiuterus with a rudimentary horn and a remotely located left fallopian tube, totally disconnected from the pelvic genitalia, and ruptured by an ectopic pregnancy. An associated finding was a unilateral hyperstimulated ovary (post HMG-HCG therapy), confined to an accessory ovary on the left. The case is presented in detail, and the unusual anatomical and functional features are discussed.

Malignant mixed Müllerian tumor of the fallopian tube: report of a case with 5-year survival.

The literature reveals a total of only 25 cases of malignant mixed Müllerian tumor of the fallopian tube. Another case is presented; the patient is well and without evidence of disease more than 5 years after the operative treatment. She also received postoperatively adjuvant cytostatic treatment with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, adriamycin, and external radiation therapy. An aggressive mode of treatment is recommended in this rare disease due to the usually very poor prognosis.

Action and localization of neuropeptide Y in the human fallopian tube.

Using indirect immunohistochemistry, neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity was found in nerve fibers around blood vessels and in the muscle layers of the human fallopian tube. Apart from a network of immunoreactive nerve fibers in connection with the luminary epithelium of the isthmus, the distribution resembled that of adrenergic, tyroxine hydroxylase immunoreactive, nerve fibers. Neuropeptide Y was found to have a dose-dependent inhibitory action on the adrenergic contractile response to field stimulation in the external longitudinal muscle layer of the isthmus. Furthermore, neuropeptide Y inhibited [3H]noradrenaline release from isthmic preparations during field stimulation, suggesting a prejunctional inhibitory action on adrenergic neurotransmission.

Malignant mixed müllerian tumor of the fallopian tube.

BACKGROUND: Malignant mixed müllerian tumor (MMT) of tubal origin is rare and optimal therapy is unknown. METHODS: Five new cases of MMT of the fallopian tube are presented, and the previous literature is reviewed. RESULTS: Eight of 10 patients disease-free at 36 months had long-term cancer-free survival. Surgery alone was inadequate therapy even for those with apparent Stage I disease. Five of six treated postoperatively with radiation and chemotherapy have lived disease-free for at least 45 months. CONCLUSIONS: Combination radiation and chemotherapy may offer improved outcome.

Histopathologic changes in the cornual portion of the fallopian tube following a single transcervical insertion of quinacrine hydrochloride pellets.

To study the sequence of histopathologic changes taking place in the cornual portion of the fallopian tube subsequent to exposure to quinacrine, 252 mg were inserted transcervically in 12 women awaiting hysterectomy for non-malignant conditions of the uterus. All patients who underwent surgery within ten days of insertion were found to have necrosis of the epithelial lining and an acute inflammatory reaction. Later on, the changes observed included progressive absorption of the inflammatory cellular exudate, progressive fibrosis, with partial or almost complete occlusion of the lumen, and failure of regeneration of the epithelial lining. Our results support other studies indicating that quinacrine can effectively produce tubal fibrosis and occlusion.

Comparative histochemical distribution of nerve fibres storing noradrenaline and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in human ovary, fallopian tube, and uterus.

Nerves containing noradrenaline were studied by formaldehyde-induced fluorescence and neuropeptide Y (NPY) was visualised by immunohistochemistry in the human ovary, Fallopian tube and uterus. All structures were richly supplied with noradrenergic fibres closely associated with the vascular and non-vascular smooth musculature. NPY-containing nerve terminals were consistently fewer, particularly in the ovary. The best developed nerve supply was found in the tubal isthmus and uterine cervix. Vessels were usually innervated by plexuses of nerves, containing NPY as well as noradrenaline. The discrepancy between the number of the two types of histochemically distinguishable nerves suggests that, if noradrenaline and NPY are co-localised in one and the same nerve, this is not a constant phenomenon in the human female reproductive tract.

[Transverse ectopia of the right testicle and tumor of the left testicle with immature uterus and fallopian tubes: report of a case].

A case of transverse ectopia of the right testicle and the left testicular tumor with the immature uterus and the fallopian tubes is reported. The patient, a 27-year-old married man, was admitted to our hospital with the suspicion of left testicular tumor and right undescended testicle. In his left scrotum, a double hen-egg-sized tumor was palpable and the right scrotum was empty. Exploration of the left inguinal canal disclosed double testicles with hernia uteri inguinalis. The right testicle showed transverse ectopia, and the histological finding of the left testicle was choriocarcinoma. In our review of the Japanese literature, we discovered 67 reported cases of transverse testicular ectopia. 33 (49.3%) out of 67 cases had a uterus and 9 cases (13.4%) had testicular tumor.
