This is a 2 hr lecture :(
ok lets have some fun
What are 2 inflammations of the fallopian tubes?
1. supportive salpingitis

2. Tuberculous salpingitis
This inflammation of the fallopian tubes occurs 60% with gonococcus.
It can also occur with chlamydia but less often a factor?
Suppurative salpingitis
This inflammation of the fallopian tubes is UNCOMMON in the US.
But is a common cause of infertility?
Tuberculous salpingitis
we need to review some anatomy for understand this is aside shit
just look at this
salpinx and fallopian tube are the SAME thing
You need to know where these are located on the fallopian tube:
intramural
isthmus
ampulla
infundibulum
What do the wall of the fallopian tube look like?
wall of the fallopian tube includes an elaborately folded mucosa surrounded by a muscularis
What does histology of the ampulla look like?
here/mucosa is quite elaborate
and
muscularis is relatively thin
What does the histology of the isthmus look like?
the mucosa is relatively simple
and
muscularis is quite thick
This term describes pus in the fallopian tube?
Pyosalpinx
This inflammation of the fallopian tube
is due to
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
on slide it is surrounded and infiltrated with numerous neutrophils
Acute salpingitis
What are the 2 types of cysts you need to know for the fallopian tubes?
1. Patatubal
2. Hydatids of Morgagni
What cyst of the fallopian tube can be be between 0.1-2.0cm in size?
Patatubal
What cyst of the fallopian tube can be larger, located near fimbria, and may arise in miillerian duct remnants?
Hydatids of Morgagni
picture and text of
Patatubal cysts
mine not leech
The hydatid of Morgagni is a small, unnecessary tissue sac that hangs loosely from the top of the testis in the male and the Fallopian tube in the female.

Mine not leech
n female, the vesicular appendage of the epoophoron (hydatid of Morgagni in female) form one or more small pedunculated vesicles in connection with the fimbriae of the uterine tube, or with the broad ligament close to them.
What are 2 tumors of the fallopian tubes?
1. Adenomatoid tumor
aka
mesothelioma

2. Adenocarcinoma
Are tumors common in fallopian tubes?
Nope
tumors are rare
At what stage are most adenocarcinomas diagnosed?
50% stage I at diagnosis
What is the survival rate of adenocarcinoma?
40% of pts <5 yr survival rate
What mutations are associated with adenocarcinoma?
BRCA
What tumor is this?
the tumor is well circumscribed and has a smooth, white cut surface
is typically 2 cm or less in diameter, circumscribed, firm and gray, white or yellow
rarely bilateral

note gross image
Adenomatoid tumor
What tumor is this?
smooth muscle hyperplasia
Small glandlike spaces and cysts are lined by cuboidal to flattened cells

note micro image
Adenomatoid tumor
What tumor is this?
Gross image:
adenocarcinoma fills and distends the lumen of the organ
the cut surface shows a solid or papillary tumor filling the lumen
fallopian tube adenocarcinoma
What is the characteristic micro slide of adenocarcinomas?
complex papillary architecture
ends fallopian tunes
begin ovaries
What are the 2 ovarian cysts that are Non-neoplastic and functional cysts?
1. follicular
2. luteal

- these are both considered physiological
- usually <2cm
- may rupture and cause peritoneal rxn
What cyst does this describe?
single layer of granulosa cells is resting on a thick theca layer
follicular cyst
This is a non-neoplastic and functional cyst.
it is 3-6% frequency in reproductive age
the etiology is unknown but insulin mediators?
Polycystic ovaries
according to leech and humanpath.com what is the etiology of polycystic ovaries?
Currently, the underlying etiology of PCOS is widely debated; however, the resulting clinical manifestations are known to be heavily impacted by environmental factors such as diet
what is polycystic ovary also called?
stein-leventhal syndrome
What size are cystic follicles with polycystic ovaries?
0.5-1.5cm

ovaries are often 2x nl size
If a person is suffering from polycystic ovary disease what may they present with?
anovulation
obesity
hirsutism
increased ovarian production of androgens
If you see several subcortical cystic follicles what should you think?
Polycystic ovaries
Why do you have symmetric enlargement of the ovary?
cortical stromal hyperplasia manifests as diffuse stromal proliferation
This is a non-neoplastic and functional cyst often seen in post menopausal women.
clinically it might present like PCOD?
Stromal hyperthecosis
How is stromal hyperthecosis similar to PCOD?
Stromal hyperthecosis has:
- ovarian stroma hyperplasia
- uniform enlargement of ovaries
What is unique about stromal hyperthecosis though?
May see severe virilization

Virilization is the process where typical male characteristics become prominent in a female. Characteristics include voice changes, balding, clitoral enlargement, loss of breast shape and increase in muscle mass.

This is NOT seen with PCOD
What are the 5 types of ovarian Tumors?
1. Surface Epithelial – stromal tumors
2. Sex cord – stromal tumors
3. Germ cell tumors
4. Malignant, Not otherwise specified
5. Metastatic Nonovarian Cancer
What is the most common 65-70% type of tumors of the ovary?
Surface epithelial cells
What age is most affected with surface epithelial cell tumors of the ovary?
20+ yrs
print slide 26 and 27
it may help
Derivations of the different ovarian tumors
These are what leech says for ovary:

12) Clinical for benign ovary problems
13) Clinical for malignant ovary lesions
16) One more thing...by age...who has what...clinical
ow mercy me
In what age group are most surface epithelial cells tumors likely to occur?
20+
In what age are most germ cell tumors liklely to arise?
0-25 yrs
