Cutaneous endosalpingiosis arising from C-section scar: A case report with review of literature.

Endosalpingiosis is a pathologic phenomenon in which non-neoplastic fallopian tube epithelium implants in ectopic locations. It is an uncommon and poorly understood condition, with most cases occurring within the abdominopelvic cavity. Cutaneous presentations of endosalpingiosis are even more rare, with only six cases described in international literature to-date. This report describes an additional case of cutaneous endosalpingiosis. The lesion arose within the scar tissue of a Pfannenstiel incision from 4 years prior in a 24-year old, previously healthy African American female. Punch biopsy of the lesion revealed a cystic mass lined by PAX8+ ciliated columnar cells and a surrounding fibrotic stroma with focal CD10-positivity, consistent with a histopathologic diagnosis of endosalpingiosis. In addition, this report provides a comprehensive review of the other documented cases of cutaneous endosalpingiosis, as well as the proposed pathogenesis, histopathologic and clinical features, and potential treatment avenues for this unique clinical entity.
