Case report illustrates diagnosis of serous cystadenofibroma in fallopian tubes, highlighting clinical implications for pathologists.
Introduction: Cystadenofibromas are commonly encountered benign neoplasms of ovary but their occurrence in fallopian tubes is rare. These lesions have a benign prognosis and excision has proven to be sufficient. They are mostly asymptomatic and rarely exceed 1cm in size. Case Report: A 72 years old female P2L2 presented with intramural fibroid and total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salphingectomy was done. Apart from the leiomyoma, a small greywhite tumor measuring 0.7cm was noted in fimbrial end of one of the fallopian tube. Microscopy revealed cystic areas and stromal proliferation as papillary fronds with benign tubular glands embedded in them. There was no cytological atypia or signs of chronic hemorrhage. The case was diagnosed as Serous cystadenofibroma of fallopian tube. Serous cyst Conclusion: adenofibromas occurring at such unusual sites can be missed out or could be a cause of confusion for pathologists. Hence, documentation of such rare cases can improve their incidence at rare sites. This case report is submitted for the same.
