Abstract

ABSTRACT Uncommon presentations of granulomatous salpingitis are pseudoxanthoma salpingitis (PSX) and xanthogranulomatous salpingitis (XGS). The clinical features and image modalities can mimic ovarian malignancy. Thus, a proper pre-operative evaluation of this entity is vital to avoid radical treatment. Here, we report a case of a 31-year-old woman with primary infertility diagnosed with pseudoxanthoma salpinx. This patient was a known case of endometriosis and presented with gross ascites.
