[A peculiar abnormality of the fallopian tube: induced by embryonic kidney tumor?].
A 17-year-old female with severe pain of the midabdomen was found to have a retroperitoneal cystic tumor, an ectopic ovary and a fallopian tube without fimbriated end. An attempt is made to determine whether these early embryonic malformations could be traced to a common origin. This is possible provided that the tumor is regarded as a mesonephroma. A histological study of the normal development of the Mullerian duct was performed utilizing human embryonic series. Previous development theories and more recent investigations are discussed. Malformations of the tube described in the literature and possible etiologies are summarized.
