The Smallest Adenomatoid Tumour of Fallopian Tube Ever Reported

A 26-year-old woman underwent bilateral tubectomy. Gross examination was unremarkable. On microscopic examination, a tumour was seen in one of the tubes, which measured 1 mm across. The tumour was located between the epithelial and the muscle layers and was composed of tubules lined by cuboidal to low columnar to flattened cells. The morphology was that of adenomatoid tumour. Subsequent sections did not show any tumour. This poses difficulty in evaluating the nature of the lesion, due to the inability to do stains for mucin and immunohistochemistry. The adenomatoid tumour reported in this article is the smallest of all those which have been reported in the literature. Further, this article discusses about the histogenesis of this tumour
