Abstract
A 51-year-old woman, nulipara, was admitted to the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, University Hospital “Sestre Milosrdnice“, Zagreb, Croatia, because of a single cyst on the left ovary. Hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy was performed. The left tube contained a well circumscribed, round, yellowish nodule of middle firm consistency, which was situated both under the serosa and in the muscular layer. The tubal lumen was strongly displaced by the tumor. Histologically, the tumor was composed of many irregular clefts or tubular, partially cystic, dilated spaces with no blood cells within them. The presented adenomatoid tumor of the Fallopian tube is an incidental finding. Its practical importance is the differential diagnosis to the tubal adenocarcinoma. Those tumors may also be the cause of extrauterine pregnancies.
