“…When the mass of a leiomyoma located in the fallopian tube is larger, the so called “effect of mass” can cause additional symptoms from the urinary bladder, ureters or the alimentary tract [17]. Moreover, torsion, or degeneration is unlikely to be found until surgery and histopathological examination [14].…”

“…Since then several researchers have discussed those cases, including one of LC of the fallopian tube [13–21, 23, 24]. It is difficult to evaluate the frequency and risk of LC of the fallopian tube as the number of cases is very small [17]. …”

“…There are also cases of uterine pregnancies and a case of ectopic pregnancy (in the fallopian tube) in the patients with leiomyoma of the fallopian tube [17, 22, 23]. In the case of giant tumor in the right fallopian tube, the pregnancy was spontaneously aborted [17].…”

IntroductionLeiomyoma of the fallopian tube is extremely rare, and its version – leiomyoma cellulare (LC) of the fallopian tube is absolutely unique. Aim of the study was to review literature reports on leiomyomas of the fallopian tubes, and to present cases of leiomyoma and LC of the fallopian tubes in the patients operated on in our ward.Material and methodsThere were fewer than 100 cases of leiomyomas of the fallopian tubes discussed in the literature up to 1993. Case 1. Leiomyoma of the left fallopian tube was detected postoperatively in a 68-year-old patient, G.K., on histopathological examination after laparoscopic total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexa. Case 2. A 56-year-old patient, K.T., with LC of the fallopian tube was qualified for laparoscopy. At operation, the procedure was converted to microlaparotomy due to the tumor size. The adnexa on the right side with the tumor of the fallopian tube were excised, and the left fallopian tube was excised, too. Histopathological microscopy found leiomyoma cellulare partim epithelioides. ResultsIn the presented cases, the extent of operation was connected with the clinical picture, and in the case of LC of the right fallopian tube, with intraoperative histopathological findings. In both cases the postoperative course was uneventful.ConclusionsDiagnosis of leiomyoma and LC of the fallopian tube, like in the other organs of the female genital tract, is possible only due to results of histopathological microscopy.

Los fibromas de la trompa de Falopio son tumores benignos extremadamente poco frecuentes. La mayoría son asintomáticos y se encuentran incidentalmente. Frecuentemente son manejados con laparotomía. Se presenta un caso muy raro de fibroma extrauterino, dependiente del istmo de la trompa de Falopio izquierda en una mujer de 53 años; que tuvo los diagnósticos preoperatorios de probable fibroma de ovario y como segunda probabilidad mioma uterino parasitario y fue tratada por laparotomía con biopsia por congelación. La ecografía transvaginal mostró una masa compleja de bordes definidos a predomino sólido con componente quístico claramente separada del útero con flujo tumoral periférico e impedancia al flujo sanguíneo normal al estudio doppler; mientras que la tomografía espiral multicorte mostró una lesión expansiva sólida con componente quístico de 12,8 por 6,5 cm dependiente de anexo izquierdo. El nivel sérico del CA 125 y todas las otras pruebas de laboratorio estuvieron dentro de los límites normales. En el intraoperatorio y en la anatomía patológica no se encontró dependencia uterina alguna y la histología diagnosticó fibroma primario de trompa uterina.
