ABSTRACT
Introduction: The fallopian tube or salpinx has been named after scientist Gabrielis Fallopus, who was the first to describe the fallopian tube precisely. Fallopian tubes are though very common surgical specimens but are rarely studied. Inflammatory diseases of fallopian tubes and infertility due to various tubal factors are one most common disease observed in females.
Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the spectrum of fallopian tube lesions in surgically resected hysterectomy specimens grossly and on histopathology. To study the frequency of various histopathological lesions of fallopian tubes.
Material and Methods: The prospective study was conducted over one year, and 316 Right fallopian tubes and 314 left fallopian tube specimens’ histopathology were analysed.
Results: In this study, it was observed that 96.52% of right fallopian tubes and 95.86% of left fallopian tubes were normal on histology. The most common histopathological lesions observed were salpingitis and Para tubal cysts.
Conclusion: Various histopathological lesions can be observed in fallopian tubes. Although Malignancies of fallopian tubes are rare, they must be subjected to histopathological examination to evaluate various pathological lesions.
