Background: Only 2% of all extranodal primary lymphomas affect the female genital tract. Involvement of the fallopian tubes by primary lymphoma is extremely rare.
Case: A 34-year-old patient presented with the symptoms of salpingitis. Laparoscopy with salpingectomy was performed. Salpingitis caused by Acinetobacter species was diagnosed and antibiotic treatment was administered. Histologic examination of the fallopian tube revealed primary extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MALT-type lymphoma) of the fallopian tube. After 12 months no tumoral recurrence occurred.
Conclusion: Although the female genital tract is rich in mucosa and the existence of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) has been demonstrated previously, extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the fallopian tube is exceptional. To our knowledge only two cases with extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the fallopian tube have been previously reported. Existence of inflammation close to the tumor is interesting to emphasize.

Objective: To assess and compare efficacy of 4-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (4D-HyCoSy) and X-ray hysterosalpingography (HSG) for fallopian tube examination.
Methods: Clinical data of patients with suspected tubal infertility, who underwent examinations in Qingdao Women and Children's Hospital from September 2021 to December 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. Of them, 40 patients received laparoscopy and dye test+ 4D-HyCoSy (4D-HyCoSy group), and 36 patients received laparoscopy and dye test +HSG (HSG group).

The anatomical components of the female reproductive system-comprising the ovaries, uterus, cervix, vagina, and fallopian tubes-interact intricately to provide the structural and hormonal support essential for reproduction. However, this system is susceptible to various detrimental factors, both congenital and acquired, that can impair fertility and adversely affect quality of life. Recent advances in bioengineering have led to the development of sophisticated three-dimensional (3D) models that mimic the complex architecture and functionality of reproductive organs.
