Abstract

Endosalpingiosis is defined as the ectopic location of tubal epithelium. The term is purely descriptive and does not necessarily imply either the direct origin from tubal mucosa or the similarity of function. This study was performed to evaluate the clinical and pathologic characteristics of endosalpingiosis in the patients with endosalpingiosis proven by pathologic investigation. The medical histories and pathologic reports of 22 endosalpingiosis patients who received the laparotomy at Seoul National University Hospital from August, 1982 to December, 1990 were reviewed. The results were as follows: 1. Age distribution was from 26 to 46 years with the mean age of 34.0 years. 2. Twelve(54.6%) patients were nulligravida and the chief complaint of these patients was infertility(45.5%). 3. Six (27.3%) patients had the previous laparoscopic tubal sterilization by electrocautery or ring application. 4. Four (18.2%) patients had previous history of tubal pregnancy. 5. The most prevalent location of endosalpingiosis was the proximal segment of the salpinx, and the length of the proximal stump from the lesion was less than 1cm in 16(72.7%) patients.
