Xanthogranulomatous Salpingitis Mimicking an Ovarian Tumor: A Diagnostic Challenge

Xanthogranulomatous salpingitis is an extremely rare entity, and very few of them have been reported in the literature. The clinical features usually mimic adnexal diseases, both benign as well as malignant. Because it is rare, the entity is often not considered in the differential diagnosis of adnexal masses. Here, we are presenting a case of pelvic mass which was operated on with suspicion of a malignant ovarian tumor. Histopathology revealed it to be a case of xanthogranulomatous salpingitis.
