Case Report: Liquid-based cytology aids in primary fallopian tube cancer diagnosis

Primary fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is a rare malignant carcinoma among all genital tract malignancies. It occurs most commonly in postmenopausal women and is similar to ovarian malignancy historically and clinically. Because of its insidious onset and silent course, the diagnosis is made usually postoperatively. Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is a type of method for cervical cancer screening, but sometimes it may aid in making PFTC diagnosis. We report a 47-year-old woman with PFTC, whose diagnosis was made with the aid of LBC.

目的 研究超声下通液诊断输卵管通畅性的临床价值。方法 选择20例不孕妇女采用生理盐水通过气囊导管通液，经阴道超声检查，结果 双侧输卵管通畅7例；双侧输卵管通而不畅9例，双侧输卵管梗阻4例。结论 超声下通液诊断输卵管通畅性较准确，安全，易行，可作为不孕门诊病人的首选检查方法。     

结扎术后输卵管积液形成机理的探讨

应用扫描电镜观察６例育龄期妇女正常输卵管和积液输卵管上皮．结果发现：输卵管积液上皮的纤毛细胞纤毛大量脱落，且纤毛多为微绒毛所代替，使纤毛细胞大量减少．分泌细胞发育良好，细胞游离面有众多密集的微绒毛和许多分泌颗粒．本文首次发现，在输卵管积液处上皮细胞之间，有许多输卵管淋巴孔，它位于分泌细胞之间直径３．２５～４．２５μｍ．输卵管淋巴孔是输卵管积液的代偿性产物，与输卵管积液的转归有关．鉴此，本文提出了形成输卵管积液新的发病机理
