Salpingitis isthmica nodosa, a thickening of the fallopian tube's isthmus, is usually inflammatory, while adenomyosis tubae involves uterine-derived adenomyosis or heterotopic endometrium without inflammation.

The paper describes knot-like thickening at the isthmic end of the fallopian tube, arguing that in most cases it originates from inflammation, with deep epithelial invasion, tubule formation, and muscle hyperplasia as consequences, sometimes with abscess formation, and that the term “salpingitis isthmica nodosa” is therefore appropriate. In rare cases, the thickening has a different origin: it can represent uterine adenomyosis spreading into the tube, or heterotopic endometrial tissue within the tubal lumen producing glandular invagination into the tubal musculature, leading the author to use the term “adenomyosis tubae.” The paper notes that even adenomyosis tubae does not exclude later onset of inflammation and that such rare non-inflammatory cases would not be suitable for studies aimed at elucidating the causes of tubal swelling. Relevance to endometriosis: while primarily focused on tubal pathology and adenomyosis spreading to the tube, it explicitly addresses adenomyosis tubae and thus relates directly to adenomyosis.

Zusammenfassung Die knotige Verdickung des isthmischen Tubenendes ist in der überwiegenden Mehrzahl der Fälle auf entzündlicher Basis entstanden. Tiefenwachstum des Tubenepithels, Schlauchbildung bei gleichzeitiger Muskelhyperplasie sind Folgen einer Entzündung mit oder ohne Absceß-bildung. Die alte Bezeichnung Salpingitis isthmica nodosa besteht hier zu Recht. In seltenen Fällen hat die knotige Verdickung des isthmischen und interstitiellen Tubenanteiles eine andere Genese. Entweder es handelt sich um eine vom Uterus fortgeleitete Adenomyosis, oder heteroplastisch innerhalb des Tubenlumens gelegene Uterusschleimhaut führt zur drüsigen Einsenkung in die Tubenmuskulatur. In solchen Fällen besteht ebenso wie bei der uterinen Adenomyosis interna keine entzündliche Ursache. Daher ist in diesen seltenen Fällen die Bezeichnung Adenomyosis tubae gerechtfertigt. Das schließt nicht aus, daß künftig einmal vielleicht ein Fall von echter Adenomyosis tubae gefunden wird, bei welcher sekundär entzündliche Vorgänge das Bild verwirren. Eine Adenomyosis tubae sichert nicht gegen das spätere Einsetzen einer Entzündung. Für Studien über die Genese der Tubenschwellung sind solche Fälle, wenn sie je beobachtet würden, nicht geeignet.
