Abstract
There are approximately a dozen cases of xanthogranulomatous salpingitis reported in the literature, mostly as case reports. Thirteen such cases were identified from 2003 to 2018 at our institution. Patient's ages ranged from 21 to 75 yr old (median and mean, 49 yr). Clinical presentations and surgical indications included pelvic inflammatory disease (5 cases), endometrial carcinoma (4 cases), suspicion of ovarian malignancy (1 case), symptomatic fibroids (1 case), endometriosis (1 case), and infertility (1 case). Surgical-pathologic correlation resulted in diagnoses of tubo-ovarian abscess (4 cases), ovarian abscess (2 cases), pyosalpinx (2 cases), and chronic endometritis (2 cases). Of the remaining 3 cases, 2 presented clinically as pelvic inflammatory disease and the other was seen in the context of an endometrial carcinoma. In summary, this case series from a single institution shows that xanthogranulomatous salpingitis is an uncommon form of chronic inflammation that may be diagnosed from reproductive to menopausal age. With one exception, the cases in this series represent pelvic inflammatory disease despite variable clinical presentations. Pseudoxanthomatous salpingitis should be in the differential diagnosis.
