Tubal endometriosis (EM) refers to the detection of ectopic endometrial implants on tubes. It may cause a significant defect of the tubes, translating into dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and infertility. We aimed to evaluate the disease characteristics, prevalence, histopathological findings and genetic profile of patients with tubal EM. A thorough search of three electronic databases was performed for studies that presented outcomes of patients with tubal EM. Thirteen studies (four observational, seven case reports, two genetic) were considered eligible for inclusion. The prevalence of tubal EM ranged from 6.9% to 69%. The predominant symptoms for referral of patients were infertility and abdominal pain. Women of reproductive age underwent salpingectomy for the management of the disease. Only one case of malignant transformation was recorded in a 60-year-old patient. The prevalence of tubal EM ranges depending on the indication for surgery, the presence of concomitant pelvic EM and the type of diagnosis and treatment. Further, more extensive, larger studies are warranted to evaluate the impact of tubal EM in the progression and prognosis of EM, the effect of salpingectomy in the improvement of disease-related symptoms and to designate the group of patients that could benefit from risk-reducing salpingectomy based on the risk of developing ovarian malignancy.

“…Little is known about its epidemiology, biology, and prognostic characteristics because primary carcinoma of a parafallopian cyst is rare. A Medline literature search using the key words ‘fallopian tube carcinoma’‘paratubal carcinoma’‘paratubal tumour’ and ‘paratubal cancer’ was performed, and although a few cases of clear cell tubal carcinoma have been reported, 3 there was no reported case of clear cell type paratubal carcinoma.…”

Endometriosis is found predominantly in women of childbearing age. The prevalence of endometriosis is difficult to determine accurately. Laparoscopy or surgery is required for the definitive diagnosis. The most common symptoms are dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and low back pain that worsen during menses. Endometriosis occurring shortly after menarche has been frequently reported. Endometriosis has been described in a few cases at the umbilicus, even without prior history of abdominal surgery. It has been described in various atypical sites such as the fallopian tubes, bowel, liver, thorax, and even in the extremities. The most commonly affected areas in decreasing order of frequency in the gastrointestinal tract are the recto-sigmoid colon, appendix, cecum, and distal ileum. The prevalence of appendiceal endometriosis is 2.8%. Malignant transformation is a well-described, although rare (<1% of cases), complication of endometriosis. Approximately 75% of these tumors arise from endometriosis of the ovary. Other less common sites include the rectovaginal septum, rectum, and sigmoid colon. Unopposed estrogens therapy may play a role in the development of such tumors. A more recent survey of 27 malignancies associated with endometriosis found that 17 (62%) were in the ovary, 3 (11%) in the vagina, 2 (7%) each in the fallopian tube or mesosalpinx, pelvic sidewall, and colon, and 1 (4%) in the parametrium. Two cases of cerebral endometriosis and a case of endometriosis presenting as a cystic mass in the cerebellar vermis has been described. Treatment for endometriosis can be expectant, medical, or surgical depending on the severity of symptoms and the patient's desire to maintain or restore fertility.
