Metaplastic papillary tumour of fallopian tube : a case report

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Metaplastic papillary tumour of fallopian tube(MPT) is an extremely rare condition having features making it difficult to categorize as metaplastic proliferative lesion or true neoplasm. Here we report the case of a 23 year old multipara female diagnosed as MPT after being operated for ectopic pregnancy. Microscopically it showed papillary configuration, epithelium consisting of non-ciliated plump columnar cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, atypical nuclei and focal budding. Mitotic figures were absent. The true nature of this tumour reactive or neoplastic is uncertain.
