BILATERAL PYOSALPINX IN AN UNMARRIED AFGHAN LADY

Abstract

Pyosalpinx leading to blocked tubes is a very common sequel of pelvic inflammatory disease, both acute and chronic stage.

A rare case of bilateral huge pyosalpinx in an unmarried girl is presented, where no obvious cause could be found. Laparotomy was done based on ultrasound diagnosis of bilateral adnexal cyst. At laparotomy, bilateral large retort shaped Fallopian tubes were visualized. Probing the abdominal ostia drained almost one liter of sterile yellow creamy material from each tube. Patient was put on anti-tuberculosis therapy and sent home with advice for monthly follow-up.
