Amebiasis01:28

Amebiasis

Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...
Appendicitis01:19

Appendicitis

Appendicitis is an acute inflammatory condition of the vermiform appendix, most commonly caused by obstruction of its lumen. The appendix is a narrow, blind-ended pouch that extends from the cecum, making it particularly prone to obstruction. Causes include fecaliths, lymphoid hyperplasia (often after viral infections), parasites, tumors, or foreign bodies. This obstruction initiates a cascade of pathological changes.Luminal Obstruction and Early InflammationAfter obstruction, normal mucosal...

Published on: October 25, 2024

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Pathology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Endosalpingiosis is characterized by the ectopic growth of Fallopian tube epithelium.
  • Histopathology reveals a tube-like epithelium with ciliated, columnar secretory, and intercalary cells.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of umbilical endosalpingiosis.
  • To review and characterize cutaneous endosalpingiosis in the international literature.

Main Methods:

  • A case of a 50-year-old woman with an asymptomatic umbilical nodule.
  • Surgical excision of the nodule under local anesthesia.
  • Histological examination confirming umbilical endosalpingiosis.

Main Results:

  • Histological examination confirmed the presence of endosalpingiosis in the excised umbilical nodule.
  • The case was combined with four other international literature cases for analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Umbilical endosalpingiosis is a rare, non-neoplastic disorder of the Müllerian system.
  • While often asymptomatic, it can present with cyclical umbilical pain and swelling.
  • Diagnosis relies on pathological findings, with surgical excision as the definitive treatment.
