ABSTRACT
Lymphangioma of the fallopian tube is very rare. Only one such case has been reported. A 30-years-old female with lymphangioma of the left fallopian tube is described here. She presented with fever, vaginal bleeding and foul smelling discharge. A mass was felt in left fornix. On exploratory laparotomy, a left tubo-ovarian mass adherent to the surrounding structures was seen. Clinical diagnosis was septic abortion with adhesions. Left-sided partial tubectomy was performed. Histology of the left tube revealed large dilated channels containing lymph in the submucosa. Lymphocytes were also seen in some channels. Histogenesis of lymphangioma remains uncertain. Presence of adhesions in this case suggests a reactive origin. Histopathology is confirmatory for diagnosis.
