Granulomatous salpingitis secondary to Crohn's disease.
A 30-year-old woman with longstanding Crohn's disease underwent resection of bowel and adherent adnexa. Granulomatous enterocolitis and granulomatous salpingitis and oophoritis were present histologically. Unusual features accompanying this tubal process included formation of an adnexal mass and florid atypical proliferation of the tubal epithelium. This proliferation is similar to that epithelial change described in tuberculous salpingitis and should not be confused with carcinoma in situ.
