“…While the pathogenesis of XE is not clear, it may include obstruction, in ammation, ischemia, and hemorrhage which may lead to the generation of free radicals and lipid peroxidation 2 . Furthermore, it is a histopathological diagnosis, where the histiocyte in ltration is either focal or diffuse 3 . In this case, XE involved the endometrium and two thirds of the myometrium ( image1 ) which may explain the posterior uterine wall lesion seen on CT scan.…”

“…Existen teorías que asocian ciertas condiciones con la inflamación xantogranulomatosa. Entre estas teorías están la inflamación secundaria a enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica, radioterapia, endometriosis pélvica, uso de dispositivo intrauterino, alteraciones del metabolismo lipídico innato de los macrófagos y antibioticoterapia con eliminación inadecuada de microorganismos como Bacteroides fragilis, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus y Salmonella typhi (5)(6)(7)(8) . También existen casos asociados a fallo ovárico prematuro, obstrucción intestinal, diverticulitis y posterior a embolización de la arteria uterina (9) .…”

“…Los histiocitos espumosos (células de xantoma) tienen abundante citoplasma cargado de lípidos y aspecto vacuolado, responsables de la coloración en el examen macroscópico (4,8) . Las tinciones inmunohistoquímicas pueden ser útiles para establecer el diagnóstico son CD68 (células espumosas positivas), CD3 (linfocitos T), CD20 (linfocitos B) y kappa -lambda (ambos positivos en linfocitos B policlonales) (5) .…”

“…Less commonly, it affects the stomach, testis, anorectal area, bone, urinary bladder, and epididymis [ 1 ]. The condition very rarely affects the female genitourinary system, but has been known to infiltrate the endometrium, resulting in xanthogranulomatous endometritis, causing destruction of the endometrium, pain, and abdominal distension [ 2 ]. However, fewer than 50 cases have been reported of xanthogranulomatous inflammation affecting the ovary or fallopian tube, with the vast majority reported in India.…”
