Slide 86: Fallopian tube with acute
salpingitis
 |
Look at how profoundly
edematous all aspects of this fallopian tube are. We are going to
focus on the mucosal folds, but the inflammatory features are present throughout
this specimen.
See this slide with the
virtual microscope. |
 |
Note the thickened and
inflamed mucosal folds. You should see many acute inflammatory cells in
both the wall of the fallopian tube itself and submucosal tissues. You
might want to compare this sample to a normal slide to see how really thickened
the wall and the mucosal folds are. This is most likely due to a bacterial
infection although it could be chlamydial. |
