Abstract:

Endosalpingiosis is a rare, often incidental gynecological finding characterized by the ectopic presence of fallopian tube epithelium outside the tubes. This case report presents a young woman with chronic right-sided abdominal pain, in whom diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a small peritoneal nodule confirmed histologically as endosalpingiosis. The patient’s symptoms resolved postoperatively and she remains symptom-free on hormonal therapy at 3- and 6-month follow-up. This case highlights diagnostic challenges, potential pathophysiological mechanisms, and the importance of considering endosalpingiosis in young women with unexplained abdominal pain.
