A case study of a 59 year old woman presented with an asymptomatic adnexal mass is presented. A discussion of investigative diagnostic examinations which were conducted on the woman and resulted in her receiving a diagnosis of primary clear cell carcinoma of a paratubal cyst is presented. Treatment which was given to the woman is discussed.

Objective: To compare the therapeutic effects of cannulation guided by ultrasound or tactile sensation in women with proximal tubal obstruction.Method: This prospective randomized study reports on outcomes for 50 women treated as outpatients, 25 by the ultrasound-guided method and 25 by the tactile sensation method.Results: Of the 50 fallopian tubes in each group, 42 tubes (84%) were successfully cannulated by the ultrasound-guided method and 32 (64%) by the tactile sensation method; and of the 50 patients, 8 (16%) conceived in the 6 months following cannulation. The difference in pregnancy rates between the 2 groups was not statistically significant.Conclusion: Whether guided by ultrasound or tactile sensation, cannulation can be offered as a first-line outpatient procedure to women with proximal tubal obstruction.

The article discusses the unusual case of a 51-year-old with torsion hydrosalpinx after hysterectomy. The woman was admitted because of lower abdominal discomfort and difficulty in micturition. She has a history of vaginal hysterectomy for prolapse with no tubal interruption. The diagnosis found that hydrosalpinx was the cause of her fallopian tube torsion. A case that usually present in the reproductive age group.

Enterosalpingeal fistula is a rare complication of Crohn's disease. And it is rarely diagnosed pre-operatively. We describe two cases of enterosalpingeal fistula. Both cases were diagnosed during exploration and required en bloc resection of the small bowel and fallopian tube. Literature review yielded only one specific case report of ileosalpingeal fistula and two other cases described in a larger series. Management of ileosalpingeal fistula should include resection of the diseased bowel as well as removal of the affected fallopian tube. Crohn's disease has an extremely wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. The hallmark of Crohn's disease is bowel inflammation with fistula or stricture formation. Organs commonly involved in fistula formation include the skin, small bowel, colon, and bladder. Rare fistula sites include the duodenum, stomach and gynecological structures such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes and vagina. We present two cases of Crohn's disease of the terminal ileum fistulizing to the fallopian tube. There is only one specific report of an ileosalpingeal fistula, although another author has described two additional cases in a large series of Crohn's fistulas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents the case of a woman with a large symptomatic granulosa cell tumour of the ovary and fallopian tube adenocarcinoma. Results of computed tomography and laparotomy are described. The patient received cycles of adjuvant systemic chemotherapy and external beam pelvic and para-aortal radiotherapy.

Abstract Cutaneous endosalpingiosis is a very rare entity, and to our knowledge umbilical location has been reported in only one patient who developed salpingectomy shortly after. We report cutaneous umbilical endosalpingiosis associated with severe abdominal pain that disappeared after surgical treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
