“…Benign tumors originating from the fallopian tubes are very rare and can present in a variety of histologic types, including leiomyoma, teratoma, fibroma, Adenomatoid tumor, lipoma, hemangioma, papilloma, Solitary fibrous tumor, etc (6)(7)(8)(9). Due to the very small number of cases, it is difficult to assess the incidence of leiomyoma of the fallopian tube.…”

“…Leiomyoma of the fallopian tube are mostly unilateral, small and asymptomatic, and most cases are discovered incidentally during diagnostic laparoscopy or other operations. Some patients may seek medical attention due to the huge size of tubal leiomyoma or abdominal pain caused by torsion or degenerative changes of leiomyoma, or due to the coexistence of tubal ectopic pregnancy and tubal leiomyoma (2,9,12). The pathogenesis of ectopic pregnancy may be that tubal leiomyoma compresses the lumen of the fallopian tube or tubal leiomyoma lead to alteration in the ciliary motion in the tube so that the fertilized egg implants in the tube.…”

“…In the propagation phase, calcium accumulations in single dead and dying cells act as seed crystals that become encrusted with more mineral deposits; progressive acquisition of outer layers may then create a lamellated configuration, giving rise to psammoma bodies [ 4 ]. Myxoid change is another degenerative phenomenon found in a variety of diseases and tumors [ 5 6 7 8 ], although its mechanism remains speculative. Myxoid degeneration results from accumulation of mucin in intracellular or extracellular loci.…”
