Endosalpingiosis; fallopian tube like tissue found in other organs -ovaries, uterus, bladder, lymph

🧬 Endosalpingiosis is a rare gynecological condition where tissue resembling the epithelium of the fallopian tubes appears outside the tubes—often in places like the ovaries, uterus, bladder, or even lymph nodes2. 🔍 What It Is Involves ectopic glands lined by ciliated tubal-type epithelium Thought to arise from coelomic metaplasia—a transformation of peritoneal cells into fallopian-like tissue3 Often discovered incidentally during surgery or biopsy for unrelated issues ⚠️ Symptoms While many cases are asymptomatic, some women experience: Pelvic pain Infertility Menstrual irregularities Dyspareunia (painful intercourse) Chronic back pain reported in some cases3 🧪 Diagnosis Confirmed via histopathological examination—biopsy shows cystic spaces lined by ciliated epithelium2 Can be mistaken for adenocarcinoma metastasis if found in lymph nodes 💊 Treatment Not always required unless symptoms are present Symptomatic cases may benefit from: Excision surgery to remove ectopic tissue Hormonal therapy (e.g., continuous progesterone) to suppress estrogen-driven growth Dietary adjustments to reduce estrogen exposure3 🧠 Related Conditions Shares similarities with endometriosis, but involves fallopian-like tissue rather than uterine lining May coexist with endometriosis or ovarian cysts #fallopiantube #fallopiantubeblockage
