Paratubal cysts by the fallopian tube.

Paratubal cysts are also called paraovarian cysts, depending on location.[1]

Comprehensiveness

On this resource, the following formatting is used for comprehensiveness:

  • Minimal depth
  • (Moderate depth)
  • ((Comprehensive))

Gross processing

Paratubal cysts are generally incidentally found on grossing of fallopian tubes, and in such cases they may be ignored, as they are essentially always benign.[2] ( or included in representative sections). Even more insignificant are sessile smaller cyst-like along the fallopian tube, which are serosal inclusion cysts.

Microscopic examination

Simple cuboidal ciliated epithelium of a paratubal cyst.

Paratubal cysts are generally consists of a fibrous layer lined by simple cuboidal epithelium. However, they may have ciliated fallopian tubal epithelium or focal papillary projections.[1] Cilia and smooth muscle in the wall strongly favors the diagnosis, but is not necessary.

Microscopic report

Example:

Right paratubal cyst and fallopian tube, salpingectomy and excision:
Benign fallopian tube with paratubal cyst.
Negative for neoplasia/malignancy.
