Abstract

Fallopian tube prolapse is a rare complication post surgery, nearly always presenting in the vaginal wall after hysterectomy. Occurrence is relatively rare, with less than 100 cases being described in literature. We report the case of a 36 year old woman with a prolapsed fallopian tube, presenting as an ulcerated intraluminal mass in the descending colon after sigmoid colon resection for endometriosis.
