This paper reports on extragenital colonic salpingiosis (endosalpingiosis with fallopian tubal-like glandular epithelium) and distinguishes it histologically from endometriosis by the absence of endometrial stroma. It describes that extragenital endosalpingiosis is typically asymptomatic, is rarely located in the appendix, and can be mistaken clinically for acute appendicitis or appendiceal tumors; the authors note that endoscopic findings had not previously been reported. In their case report, they present the first described endoscopic finding of colonic salpingiosis, emphasizing the diagnostic and treatment challenges and the need for a multidisciplinary approach. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Endosalpingiosis is a rare condition characterized by the presence of benign fallopian tubal-like glandular epithelium derived from Mullerian ducts, usually affecting the serosal surfaces of the pelvis and peritoneum. It is histologically differentiated from endometriosis as endosalpingiosis lacks endometrial stroma. Endosalpingiosis tends to affect older women and has been associated with ovarian serous tumors of low malignant potential. The extragenital endosalpingosis is typically without symptoms, reported only once as chronic pelvic pain. It rarely affects the appendix but can be mistaken for acute appendicitis or appendiceal tumors. No reports of endoscopic findings have been never described. Its treatment is challenging and provides a multidisciplinary approach with gynecologist, surgeon and gastrointestinal endoscopist. Our case reports for the first time an endoscopic finding of colonic salpingiosis and it is challenging both for the diagnosis and for the treatment.
