ABSTRACT
PIP: Clinical pictures and histopathological findings of tubal cyst in 15 patients following tubal sterilization were analyzed. The interval between tubal sterilization and occurrence of tubal cyst was 10 years (range from 4-12 years). Clinically, 8 cases (53%) suffered from lower abdominal pain, 5 (33%) from hypermenorrhea coexistent with uterine myoma, and 2 cases ¿13%¿ from irregular menstruation. 5 of 9 patients who underwent ultrasound examination were suspected of having tubal cysts prior to operation. The size of the tubal cysts ranged from 1.5- 9.0 cm in diameter with a mean of 3.4 cm. 11 were unilateral and 4 were bilateral. Histologically, these cysts showed flattened mucosal epithelial cells with the absence of epithelial plica, compression atrophy of muscular layer, suture stitch or granuloma, and intact fimbria with clear serous fluid. Thus, the differential diagnosis of adnexal cyst in patients with a past history of tubal sterilization should include tubal cyst.
