Neurolipoma of the Fallopian Tube - The First Reported Case
Abstract
Lipomas are rarely seen in the fallopian tube localization. Neurolipoma is a variant of lipoma and contains fibroadipose tissue surrounding and infiltrating the nerves. The aim of this presentation is to discuss a case of neurolipoma with an unusual localization with the literature. In this article, a case of neurolipoma incidentally detected in the fallopian tube of a 64-year-old woman who applied with complaints of postmenopausal uterine bleeding is presented. According to our current literature knowledge, our case is the first reported case of neurolipoma in the female genital system. Considering the risk of liposarcoma in large lipomatous tumors, histopathological examination is necessary for diagnosis.
