Background: Fallopian tubes are affected by a wide spectrum of diseases varying from salpingitis to carcinoma. Most pathological processes involving the fallopian tube are inflammatory and are of clinical significance because they interfere with the function of the fallopian tube and result in infertility. Although fallopian tube is affected by a wide spectrum of diseases, a literature search reveals that there are only occasional studies, documenting histologic changes in the fallopian tube removed for all reasons. This prompts the present study. The aim is to study the gross and microscopic features of the excised fallopian tubes and to study the common and unusual lesions in them and to study the frequency of histological findings and relative frequencies of different findings.
