Core Tip
Core Tip: Tubal endometriosis (TEM) is a category of pelvic endometriosis that is characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and/or stroma within any part of the fallopian tube. The fallopian tubes may be a partial source of ovarian endometriosis (OEM). In this study, 30 patients who underwent laparoscopic salpingectomy due to various gynecological diseases and were pathologically confirmed as having TEM at our hospital were retrospectively analyzed to provide a clinical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of TEM. The final diagnosis of TEM depends on pathological examination since there are no specific clinical characteristics. The rate of TEM combined with OEM was higher than that of other gynecological diseases, which indicates that TEM is related to OEM.
