A case of xanthogranulomatous salpingitis (XGS) associated with a large uterine leiomyoma in a 50-year-old woman is presented. Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is an uncommon form of chronic inflammation that is destructive to affected organs. It is characterized by the presence of lipid-filled macrophages with admixed lymphocytes, plasma cells, and neutrophils. A review of the literature revealed that most patients with XGS have a clinical history of long-standing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or, less often, endometriosis. We report a case lacking a history of either PID or endometriosis but with a concurrent large uterine leiomyoma. Although the exact etiology in this case was not clear, the leiomyoma may have played a contributory role in pathogenesis.

Xanthogranulomatous Inflammation

A case of Xanthogranulomatous salpingitis in 55yrs old women with sigmoid diverticulitis is presented. Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is an uncommon form of chronic inflammation which affects various organs and is destructive in nature. This inflammatory process is characterized by massive infiltration of the tissues by lipid laden histiocytes admixed with lymphocytes, plasma cells and polymorphonuclear leucocytes. Pelvic inflammatory disease is the main etiology. This could have possibly resulted in xanthomatous process in our case leading to xanthogranulomatous salpingitis.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a frequent condition of young women, often resulting in reproductive morbidity. Although Neisseria gonorrhoeae and/or Chlamydia trachomatis are/is recovered from approximately a third to a half of women with PID, the etiologic agent is often unidentified. We need PCR to test for M genitalium among a pilot sample of 50 women with nongonococcal, nonchlamydial endometritis enrolled in the PID evaluation and clinical health (PEACH) study. All participants had pelvic pain, pelvic organ tenderness, and leukorrhea, mucopurulent cervicitis, or untreated cervicitis. Endometritis was defined as≥5 surface epithelium neutrophils per×400field absent of menstrual endometrium and/or≥2 stromal plasma cells per×120field. We detected M genitalium in 7 (14%) of the women tested: 6 (12%) in cervical specimens and 4 (8%) in endometrial specimens. We conclude that M genitalium is prevalent in the endometrium of women with nongonococcal, nonchlamydial PID.

Primary fallopian tube cancer (PFTC) is a rare gynaecological malignancy, clinically often mistaken for pelvic inflammatory disease or ovarian cancer. Three primary fallopian tube carcinomas, arising in a background of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), are presented. The possible association between chronic PID and PFTC is discussed and a hypothesies linking these cancers with chronic inflammation is proposed.

Case History—A 24 yr old woman presenting with a short history of jaundice. Autoimmune hepatitis describes chronic inflammation in the liver attributed to immune responses against self-antigens in the liver, typically in the form of a marked portal tract infiltrate containing both plasma cells and T cells. It usually affects women (female:male, 8:1), is often familial, and 60% of patients have other autoimmune diseases (e.g. thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes) in addition....

Ovarian dysgerminoma is a rare type of germ cell tumor. The majority of patient relapses occur within 2 years of diagnosis. Here, we report the case of a 74-year-old woman with a history of ovarian dysgerminoma 39 years earlier. The patient visited the hospital presenting with heartburn. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a right retroperitoneal mass, and a primary retroperitoneal tumor was suspected. She underwent surgical resection of the retroperitoneal tumor. Histological examination confirmed a metastatic dysgerminoma to the retroperitoneum. Postoperative CT showed paraaortic and cervical lymph node metastases. The patient was treated with bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin chemotherapy. This case demonstrates the difficulties that may be encountered in the differential diagnosis of a retroperitoneal mass and underlines the necessity for understanding a patient’s clinical history.

Chlamydia trachomatis is an important agent of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) globally. Laboratory diagnosis, which is vital for early and appropriate treatment, remains a challenge in resource-limited settings. Our study was undertaken to detect C. trachomatis in women with clinical features of PID. Three endocervical swabs, each obtained from 100 women clinically diagnosed with PID, were subjected to C. trachomatis antigen detection, microscopy and bacteriological culture. Logistic regression was used to assess the risk factors associated with PID. C. trachomatis antigen was present in 6%. The use of hormonal contraception, previous history of PID and a smoking habit were found to have statistically significant association in those who tested positive. Adjunctive use of rapid Chlamydia antigen test with a routinely practiced syndromic approach is beneficial for timely and appropriate antimicrobial therapy in women with PID.

The Relationship

Objective. As the consequences ofMycoplasma genitaliumin pregnant women are unknown, we examined the relationship between prenatalM. genitaliuminfection and SAB.Methods. The presence ofM. genitaliumwas determined by PCR in urine from 82 women who subsequently experienced a SAB and 134 women who maintained their pregnancies past 22 weeks gestation. The relationships betweenM. genitaliumand subsequent SAB, demographic, current pregnancy, and reproductive health history characteristics were evaluated.Results. Compared to women withoutM. genitalium, women withM. genitaliumwere more likely to report nulliparity (41.7% versus 17.4%,P=.04), history of pelvic inflammatory disease (27.3% versus 8.8%,P=.08), priorC. trachomatisinfection (63.6% versus 36.9%,P=.11,) and problems getting pregnant (18.2% versus 4.4%,P=.10).M. genitaliumwas not associated with SAB (AOR 0.9, 95% CI 0.2–3.8).Conclusions. Pregnant women who test positive forM. genitaliumdo not have an increased risk of SAB but report a history of reproductive morbidities.

A 44-year-old Caucasian female with a history of endometriosis is admitted to the intensive care unit due to severe left lower quadrant abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. With patients’ positive chandelier sign on pelvic examination, leucocytosis, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and elevated C-reactive protein indicated that she had pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PCR tests were negative for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis; however, her blood and urine cultures grew Group A streptococci (GAS) with a negative rapid Streptococcus throat swab and no known exposure to Streptococcus. On further review, patient met criteria for GAS toxic shock syndrome based on diagnostic guidelines. The patient was promptly treated with intravenous antibiotics and supportive care, and she acutely recovered. This case demonstrates a rare cause of PID and an atypical aetiology of severe sepsis. It illuminates the importance of considering PID as a source of infection for undifferentiated bacteraemia.
