The cause of fallopian tube cancer is unknown, and there is no clear data to suggest that tubal infections cause fallopian tube cancer. Tubal cancer often manifests as abdominal pain, vaginal discharge and abdominal mass.
Tubal cancer is a malignant tumor of the female reproductive tract that usually occurs in postmenopausal women and has a low incidence. Its etiology is unknown, but about 70% of patients have chronic salpingitis and 50% have a history of infertility.
In patients with unilateral fallopian tube cancer, the contralateral fallopian tube is found to have inflammatory changes on pathologic examination, which can be inferred that chronic inflammatory stimulation can induce the disease, such as chronic salpingitis. Therefore, it is not clear that salpingitis can cause tubal cancer, but the two may be related, and salpingitis may be one of the predisposing factors of tubal cancer.
Usually, patients often have symptoms such as abdominal pain on the affected side, vaginal discharge, pelvic mass, etc. Their discharge is mostly plasma yellow water, but without odor. Some patients also have ascites.
It is recommended that patients with salpingitis should be actively treated to avoid aggravation of the condition.
