  • Title: Laparoscopic approach to an uncommon adnexal neoplasm associated with infertility: serous cystadenofibroma of the fallopian tube.
    Author: Sills ES, Kaplan CR, Perloe M, Tucker MJ.
    Journal: J Am Assoc Gynecol Laparosc; 2003 Nov; 10(4):545-7. PubMed ID: 14738647.
    Abstract:
    A rare case of serous cystadenofibroma of the fallopian tube was discovered during evaluation for in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer. Bilateral tubal occlusion was noted on hysterosalpingogram, and a right adnexal cyst, initially thought to be of ovarian origin, was identified by office transvaginal sonography. Laparoscopy revealed a 5.5-cm, fluid-filled mass involving the distal aspect of the right fallopian tube. Both ovaries and uterine exterior appeared grossly normal. The cyst was decompressed and removed intact without incident through a 5-mm laparoscopic cannula. The mass showed histologic features consistent with benign serous cystadenofibroma. The patient had an uncomplicated postoperative convalescence and continued to do well 3 months after surgery.
