| Summary: | Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical data on endosalpingiosis, which is only pathologically recognized, and which may accompany malignancies and endometriosis. Material and Method: We collected the data of patients who were pathologically diagnosed with endosalpingiosis between May 2017 and January 2023 in a tertiary health institution. The patient’s age, gravida, clinical complaints, imaging findings, presence of known risk factors for endosalpingiosis, the operation performed, and the location of the endosalpingiosis focus were recorded. The postoperative statuses of the patients were provided by hospital records and telephone interviews with the patients. Result: The data of six female patients between 34 and 62 years of age were analyzed. Two of the patients were in menopause, five had a history of previous abdominal surgery, one had endometriosis, and one patient had endosalpingiosis accompanying high-grade serose ovarian carcinoma. Conclusion: Considering the increase in synchronous malignancies, we believe that endosalpingiosis should be reported by pathology, especially in cases of endometriosis and those with a history of previous surgery, and the clinician should inform the patient of the presence of this diagnosis. |
