Abstract
Female patient, 48 years old. The patient complained of an increase in vaginal discharge 1 year ago, which was watery, and she did not seek medical attention. She had menstrual disorders in the past half year and visited a local hospital due to delayed menstruation and underwent ultrasonography, which suggested ovarian cysts. She visited our hospital 1 month later, and ultrasonography showed cystic masses in bilateral adnexa areas. After anti-inflammatory treatment, ultrasound examination showed no significant change. She underwent laparoscopic pelvic adhesiolysis and bilateral salpingectomy. During the operation, bilateral tubal sausage-like thickening and distortion were observed, with dense adhesions to surrounding tissues.
