“…The woman complained of vaginal discharge and abdominal discomfort only several weeks after her hysterectomy, symptoms which are similar to those of prolapse of the uterine tube following total hysterectomy 6,7 . Compared with total hysterectomy, the interval between the initial procedure and the occurrence of the prolapse was very short, weeks instead of months 2,6,7 . Most likely, the formation of a pelvic haematoma or abscess, which spontaneously drained into the vagina, resulted in the opening of the abdominal side of the cervix.…”

“…Owing to the atypical nuclear features of the tubal glandular epithelium in some of the cases, prolapse of the fallopian tube can easily be confused with adenocarcinoma [3,7,9,10,18,20,21,25]. Protean features of this lesion have been illustrated in two recently reported cases.…”

Prolapse of the fallopian tube after hysterectomy associated with exuberant angiomyofibroblastic stroma response: a diagnostic pitfall

We report two cases of prolapse of the fallopian tube associated with an exuberant angiomyofibroblastic stroma response, which occurred after hysterectomy and which is a hitherto unreported feature of this lesion. The tumors were composed of richly vascularized stroma arranged in a retiform pattern and mildly atypical glandular inclusions, which had the morphology of tubal epithelium. The stroma of the lesion was composed of either thin bipolar cells with tapered nuclei and stellate-shaped cells with minimal amount of cytoplasm or small epithelioid-looking cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm. The tubal glandular inclusions displayed mildly atypical nuclear features. If the tubal glandular component was overlooked, these tumors might be erroneously diagnosed as mesenchymal lesions of the vagina, such as vaginal fibroepithelial polyp, angiomyofibroblastoma, aggressive angiomyxoma, or superficial myofibroblastoma.
