Abstract

Pseudoxanthomatous salpingitis (PXS) is an uncommon condition characterized by the presence of pigment-laden histiocytes within the lamina propria of the fallopian tube. Less than 30 cases of PXS have been reported in the literature. We herein report a case of PXS associated with an endometriotic cyst.

Keywords: fallopian tube; lipofuscin; pigmentosis tubae; pseudoxanthomatous salpingitis.
