Endosalpingiosis, ectopic tubal epithelium homologous to endometriosis, is typically asymptomatic, but recognition is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and consider its rare association with primary serous carcinoma.

This article defines endosalpingiosis as the presence of ectopic tubal epithelium and establishes its homology with endometriosis. The authors note that while the condition is typically asymptomatic and lacks serious prognostic implications, recognizing it is crucial to prevent the overdiagnosis of disseminated disease lesions. Additionally, the paper discusses the potential for serous carcinoma to arise primarily within foci of endosalpingiosis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically discussing the homologous relationship between endosalpingiosis and endometriotic lesions.

Abstract

Endosalpingiosis is defined as ectopic tubal epithelium and is considered homologous with endometriosis. In its usual form, the lesion is asymptomatic and has no serious prognostic associations. Recognition of endosalpingiosis, however, is important in avoiding overdiagnosis of disseminated lesions. The possibility of carcinoma--usually serous--arising primarily in a focus of endosalpingiosis is discussed.
