Article Synopsis
- Uterine sarcoma is rare but has a very poor prognosis, making it crucial to distinguish it from uterine leiomyoma in patients.
- A study at Fukushima Red Cross Hospital analyzed MRI findings in 170 patients, revealing that sarcoma and smooth muscle tumors of unknown potential often showed high abnormality rates on various MRI scans, particularly with contrast enhancement.
- Although MRI can highlight differences between sarcoma and leiomyoma, the overlap in findings complicates diagnosis, emphasizing the need for careful assessment to avoid missing sarcoma cases.
We report four cases of isolated fallopian tube torsion (IFTT) successfully treated with laparoscopic surgery over the past 10 years. Two young women (each 19 years old) were IFTT with paraovarian cyst (POC) and tubal preservation was possible with detorsion and cystectomy. The other two patients (a 41-year-old woman with hydrosalpinx and a 50-year-old woman with hematosalpinx) underwent salpingectomy and adnexectomy, respectively, because there was no desire for tubal preservation.
