Endosalpingiosis

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

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

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

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