title: Mature cystic teratoma of the fallopian tube.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of mature cystic teratoma of the fallopian tube.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Medical college-affiliated hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 31-year-old woman, gravida 0, visited our outpatient clinic with infertility. Hysterosalpingography (HSG) showed a swollen right fallopian tube whose patency was not confirmed.
  
  
  METHODS
  Laparoscopic right salpingectomy was perfomed for a solid-appearing mass ∼2 × 1.5 cm in diameter in the ampullary region. Histopathologic examination showed components from each germ cell layer; therefore, the diagnosis of a mature cystic teratoma of the right fallopian tube was confirmed. The patient became pregnant with IVF-ET and gave birth to a baby boy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In cases where hydrosalpinx is suspected, a careful assessment by either HSG or laparoscopy is necessary at the time of infertility examination.
