title: [TUBERCULOUS SALPINGITIS IN THE STAGE OF CALCIFICATION TO CASEOUS NECROSIS IN TEENAGE GIRL].
abstract: The authors observed a case of pinched, calcified, caseously degenerated right uterine appendages in girls aged 14 and 11 years. The disease showed mild symptoms and it was occasionally detected by intravenous urography. Both patients underwent surgery--elimination of tuberculous salpingitis with calcified caseous necrosis. No treatment in the former case and specific treatment in the latter led to two different outcomes: late recurrence and recovery. Pinched, calcified, caseously degenerated uterine appendages are a rare pathology in children in particular. Ovarian dermoid cysts and calcified lymph nodes are differentially diagnosed. Diagnosis and treatment require surgical intervention (laparotomy, laparoscopy), sanitization of an infection focus, chemotherapy.
