description | Uncommon presentations of granulomatous salpingitis are pseudoxanthoma salpingitis (PSX) and xanthogranulomatous salpingitis (XGS).

Here, we report a case of a 31-year-old woman with primary infertility diagnosed with pseudoxanthoma salpinx. This patient was a known case of endometriosis and presented with gross ascites. |
