Fallopian Tube Prolapse After Hysterectomy: A Case Report

Introduction The aim of this study was to describe clinical findings of prolapse of fallopian tube to vaginal vault following abdominal hysterectomy for multiple leiomyomas of uterine and to correlate it with other features. Case Presentation A patient with history of leiomyomas and abnormal uterine bleeding was admitted with abdominal pain and scheduled for abdominal hysterectomy. Intra operative inspection showed multiple leiomyomas of uterine. One year after operation of total abdominal hysterectomy, the patient presented with abdominal pain, dyspareunia, and purulent vaginal discharge and therefore, referred to our center for further evaluation. In the vaginal examination, a protruding red mass with fibrotic fimberia was observed. The right fallopian tube (FT) with its fimbria prolapsed to vaginal vault as a granulation tissue was removed from vaginal cuff and sent to pathology. The pathologist reported fallopian tube tissue. Post-operative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on 2nd day of post hysterectomy with good general condition. Six-month follow-up showed abolished purulent discharge. The site of resected vaginal cuff was intact in vaginal examination. Conclusions Intra vaginal prolapse of the fallopian tube is a rare sequel of hysterectomy. Clinicians should be aware of this disregarded sequel when dealing with post-hysterectomy vaginal discharge.
