Letter to the Editor - Prolapsed Fallopian Tube with Squamous Metaplasia

45 year-old-female complained of leucorrhoea and lower abdominal pain since two months. Abdominal hysterectomy done one and half years back for unknown reasons. Perspeculum examination showed a tan-coloured polyp on the vaginal vault, measuring 1.5x1.0 cm and tender to touch. Clinical impression was granulation tissue, and the polyp was excised. Light microscopy showed polypoidal projections lined by low cuboidal epithelium; lamina propria showed chronic inflammatory cells with an abundance of plasma cells. Deeper down were seen thick walled blood vessels and few smooth muscle bundles. One papilla showed squamous metaplasia of the lining epithelium. There was no evidence of mucosal hyperplasia or atypia. The papillae resembled tubal plicae and the presence of few smooth muscle bundles clinched the diagnosis of prolapsed tube.
