“…Hesseling et al (5) showed no link between the two. There are also links in the literature between endosalpingiosis and serous borderline ovarian tumours (5) inflammatory tubal disease (9), and endometriosis (1,4,5). No study has yet directly compared endosalpingiosis and endometriosis to see if there are differences in their clinical presentations and demographics.…”

“…Keltz et al (6) looked at 51 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for chronic pelvic pain: Six cases of endosalpingiosis were found; four had a concurrent diagnosis of endometriosis. Ong et al (4) showed that 55% of cases of endosalpingiosis found during laparoscopic surgery presented with chronic pelvic pain. Heinig et al (1) concluded that endosalpingiosis was an incidental finding and not a frequent cause of pelvic pain.…”

“…Endosalpingiosis and endometriosis have a similar macroscopic appearance of yellow-white punctate cystic lesions and can both be found on various parts of the pelvic peritoneum (3). They are also both speculated to derive from the secondary m€ ullerian system (4).…”

“…It is derived from the mullerian system and is seen in the pelvic and lower abdominal peritoneum. Colon, bladder, appendix, paraaortic and pelvic lymph nodes are the sites specified in the case reports (2)(3)(4). Patients are almost always asymptomatic and it very rarely presents as a large cystic mass known as florid cystic endosalpingiosis (5).…”

Endosalpingiosis is a disorder of the mullerian system characterized by benign glands lined with tubal type epithelium and involves the peritoneum, subperitoneal tissues and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. myometrial endosalpingiosis is very rare. A 44-year-old female presented to the hospital complaining of menorrhagia. Gynecological and radiologic examination revealed a pelvic mass 7.5 cm in diameter, suggestive of a leiomyoma with secondary cystic changes. The gross examination showed an intramural large cyst within the right fundic wall of the uterus. microscopically, the cyst consisted of multiple micro-macro cysts lined with benign tubal epithelium. With these findings, the diagnosis was cystic endosalpingiosis. In this report, the clinicopathologic features of a cystic endosalpingiosis case located in the myometrium was presented with a review of the literature.

We evaluated the safety and postsurgical outcomes of endoscopic salpingectomy for sterilization of female Formosan macaques (Macaca cyclopis) as a method of population control. Nineteen adult female Formosan macaques were included in our study. The fallopian tubes of each anesthetized macaque were cauterized and excised endoscopically using a 2.7-mm rigid endoscope system. We recorded the complications encountered, and objectively scored the amount of hemorrhage throughout the procedure. Postoperative ovarian function was evaluated by monitoring the serum levels of sex hormones in ten of the macaques for two ovarian cycles following the salpingectomy. Two to 13 months later, eight of the 19 macaques underwent laparoscopy for the objective evaluation of inflammation at the surgical sites on the fallopian tubes. No major anesthetic- or surgical-associated complications were observed in any of the macaques. The hormonal evaluation showed cyclic ovarian function after salpingectomy in all of the ten macaques examined, and the parameters were comparable to those of other macaque species. The long-term postoperative level of inflammation at the surgical site was minimal to low, and was lower than that reported for other tubal occlusion techniques used in macaques. The use of a 2.7-mm rigid endoscope for salpingectomy in macaques is safe and efficient, with fewer postoperative complications than comparable sterilization techniques.
