Xanthogranulomatous salpingitis is an uncommon cause of pelvic inflammatory disease, often presenting with varied symptoms in women of reproductive and menopausal ages. This condition requires consideration in the differential diagnosis of tubal inflammation.

Area of Science:

Gynecologic Pathology
Reproductive Medicine
Inflammatory Diseases

Background:

Xanthogranulomatous salpingitis is a rare condition with limited reported cases, primarily documented as individual case reports.
Understanding its clinical and pathological spectrum is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the clinical characteristics, surgical indications, and pathological findings of xanthogranulomatous salpingitis cases.
To evaluate the association of xanthogranulomatous salpingitis with pelvic inflammatory disease and other gynecologic conditions.

Main Methods:

A retrospective review of medical records and pathological diagnoses from 2003 to 2018 at a single institution.
Identification and analysis of 13 cases diagnosed with xanthogranulomatous salpingitis.

Surgical Techniques to Optimize Ovarian Reserve during Laparoscopic Cystectomy for Ovarian Endometrioma

Published on: January 22, 2022

Main Results:

Thirteen cases of xanthogranulomatous salpingitis were identified in patients aged 21-75 years (median 49 years).
Common clinical presentations included pelvic inflammatory disease (5 cases) and endometrial carcinoma (4 cases).
Pathological diagnoses correlated with tubo-ovarian abscess (4 cases), ovarian abscess (2 cases), pyosalpinx (2 cases), and chronic endometritis (2 cases).

Conclusions:

Xanthogranulomatous salpingitis is an infrequent chronic inflammatory condition diagnosed across reproductive and menopausal age groups.
The majority of cases in this series were associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, despite diverse clinical presentations.
Pseudoxanthomatous salpingitis should be included in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with relevant symptoms.
