[PATHO] REVISION 2 Flashcards
purulent inflammation 2ry to introduction of bacteria from uterine cavity to tubal lumen
acute salpingitis
MC causative agent of acute salpingitis
Neisseria gonorrhea
acute salpingitis gross picture
tube is swollen congested
lumen filled w/ pus
acute salpingitis microscopic picture
acute inflammatory process
polymorphs & pus cells
chronic non specific salpingitis gross picture (4)
1-tube is irregular, distended
2-fibrous adhesion over serosal surface
3-permanent bridging b/w plicae
4-wall infiltrated by lymphocytes + plasma cells
salpingitis complications (5)
1-extension–> pelvic peritonitis
2-extension–>tubo-ovarian abscess
3-chronicity—> hydrosalpinx/ pyosalpinx
4-if bilateral–>sterility
5-ectopic pregnancy
if chronicity of salpingitis is mild this leads to
hydrosalpinx
if chronicity of salpingitis is severe this leads to
pyosalpinx
TB salpingitis gross picture (3)
1-serosal tubercles
2-tube is elongated, nodular, irregularly distended
3-adhesions to nearby organs
TB salpingitis microscopic picture
caseating granuloma
tubal pregnancy gross picture
tube distended by hemorrhagic clot enmeshing chorionic villi
tubal pregnancy fate
1-abortion
2-rupture & intraperitoneal bleeding
tubal pregnancy pathogenesis
1-factors ↑ tubal receptibility (endometriosis)
2-factors blocking zygote passage to uterine cavity (chronic salpingitis/ congenital tubal diverticulae)
purulent inflammatory process following introduction of neisseria gonorrhea from uterine cavity to tubal lumen
acute salpingitis
obliteration of fimbriated end w/ dilatation of tube
wall is whitish, thin, translucent
tube contains clear serous fluid
hydrosalpinx
uterus is enlarged
mass of grapelike structures of translucent white cysts
no fetal parts

hydropic swelling of chorionic villi
chorionic villi filled w/ avascular loose myxoid stroma
hyperplastic sheets of cytotrophoblasts & syncytiotrophoblasts
cytologic atypia is present
complete hydatidiform mole
obliteration of fimbriated end w/ dilatation of tube
wall is thick & opaque
lumen distended w/ pus
pyosalpinx
tubes are swollen & congested
lumen is filled w/ pus
tubes show polymorphs & pus cells
acute salpingitis
tube is distended, irregular
fibrous adhesions on serosal surface
healing & organization

adhesions to nearby organs
serosal tubercles
caseating granuloma
TB salpingitis
MC routes of lymphatic spread in TB salpingitis
intestinal
bladder
tube is distended w/ hemorrhagic clot enmeshing chorionic villi
tubal pregnancy
uterus may be enlarged
few vesicles
few fetal parts seen
villous edema of some villi
trophoblastic proliferation is focal & slight
partial hydatidiform mole
gross picture of complete hydatidiform mole (4)
1-usually uterus is enlarged
2-grape-like structures of thin translucent cysts
3-NO fetal parts
4-weighs> 200g
