V Franco et al. Acta Eur Fertil. 1990 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

A xanthogranulomatous salpingitis, occurring in a fifty-two year old patient and appearing itself as a hydrosalpinx, is reported. The histological picture was characterized by the presence of several foamy histiocytes admixed with other inflammatory cells. Considerations about epidemiology, etiopathogenetic mechanisms and problems of differential diagnosis with other diseases are discussed.
