“SPECTRUM OF HISTOPATHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF FALLOPIAN TUBES AND ITS POSSIBLE RELATION TO THE STATE OF UTERUS AND OVARIES IN SURGICALLY REMOVED SPECIMENS” – A TWO YEAR STUDY IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL.

Abstract

Background: The fallopian tube functions as an anatomic and physiologic link between the ovary and the uterus in reproduction by ensuring efcient and orderly ovum transport and providing a proper environment in which fertilization occurs. Not much studies has been done about the lesions of fallopian tube and its relation to the lesions of uterus and ovaries Objectives: To study the various histopathological lesions of uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. To correlate the possible relation of the lesions in the uterus and the ovaries to the changes in the fallopian tubes. Materials And Methods: This study was carried out in the department of Pathology, Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, Manipur, India . A total of 80(Eighty) specimens of total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy from patients who underwent surgery in the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of Regional Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital were obtained for study for a duration of 2 years starting from May 2015 to April 2017. Majority of cases were with a clinical Results: diagnosis of uterine broid followed by chronic cervicitis and DUB. The incidence of tubal lesion was 18.75% and tubes with normal ndings comprised 88.75%. It is well appreciated that the Conclusion conditions involving the fallopian tube are frequently non neoplastic pathologic conditions like ectopic pregnancy, acute and chronic salpingitis in contrast to the neoplastic conditions.
