Endosalpingiosis

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellnesspedia

Endosalpingiosis is a benign condition characterized by the presence of fallopian tube-like epithelium in locations outside the fallopian tube. This condition is often discovered incidentally during surgery or histological examination of a biopsy. It is most commonly found in the pelvic peritoneum, ovaries, and lymph nodes.

Symptoms[edit | edit source]

Endosalpingiosis is usually asymptomatic, meaning it does not typically cause symptoms. However, in some cases, it may be associated with chronic pelvic pain or infertility.

Diagnosis[edit | edit source]

The diagnosis of endosalpingiosis is typically made through histological examination of a biopsy. The characteristic finding is the presence of fallopian tube-like epithelium in locations outside the fallopian tube.

Treatment[edit | edit source]

There is no specific treatment for endosalpingiosis. Management is usually focused on addressing any associated symptoms, such as chronic pelvic pain or infertility.
