Rare case of a paratubal cystadenoma with bilateral hydrosalpinges in an infertile woman

Abstract

Objective: Serous tumors can occur on the surface of the ovaries and—rarely—as primary tumors on the peritoneal surface. However, the origin of extraovarian serous tumors is unknown. An unusual case of a serous tumor is presented here. Case report: A 34-year-old nulligravid woman presented for evaluation of her primary infertility, with acute abdominal pain. At laparoscopy, a paratubal cyst, independent of the ovaries, was found to be associated with bilateral hydrosalpinges. The final pathology diagnosis was of a benign paratubal serous cystadenoma. Conclusion: We present an unusual case of a paratubal serous cystadenoma with bilateral hydrosalpinges in an infertile woman, which was resected laparoscopically..
