Diffuse abdominal and pelvic endosalpingiosis: A case report
Radiology Case Reports(2022)
Abstract
Endosalpingiosis is defined as the ectopic location of benign ciliated tubal epithelium outside of the fallopian tubes. It is a rare entity that was previously regarded as an incidental finding on pathology, and is becoming more prevalent within the medical literature. Diagnosis is made based on histologic sampling. There are no specific radiological features but commonly reported findings include numerous cystic and solid masses scattered throughout the pelvis. Common ectopic locations seen on imaging include the serosa of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and the pelvic cul-de-sac. Less common locations include the bladder wall, omentum, bowel serosa, and skin. We present the clinical presentation of a patient with histologically proven endosalpingiosis. Atypical imaging findings and correlative histology are also reviewed.
