The conventional H&E stained microsections were prepared from specimen for extensive study. The sections were examined histopathologically for various pathological lesions by standard criteria.
Results: Acute salpingitis was found in 18% of patients. Chronic salpingitis and follicular salpingitis was seen in 39% of patients, while chronic salpingitis with salpingitis isthmica nodosa was found in only 8% of patients. Vessels were sclerotic in 8% of cases. Calcification was found in 7% cases. No case of tuberculosis and endometriosis was observed in our study group.
