Tuberculous pyosalpinx associated with serous tubal intraepithelial lesion: a case report on evidence of early tubal neoplastic transformation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Serous tubal intraepithelial lesion (STIL) is an uncommon precursor lesion in the spectrum of tubal serous neoplasia, characterised by atypical epithelial proliferation, aberrant p53 expression and a low proliferative index. Chronic inflammatory conditions such as tuberculosis may contribute to carcinogenesis through persistent epithelial injury. This report describes the case of a 29-year-old woman with previously treated tubercular endometritis who presented with persistent pelvic pain and bilateral pyosalpinx. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed grossly enlarged fallopian tubes with torsion and purulent intraluminal contents, necessitating bilateral salpingectomy. Histopathological examination demonstrated chronic granulomatous salpingitis with focal epithelial atypia. Immunohistochemistry showed diffuse abnormal p53 overexpression (80%) and a low Ki-67 proliferation index (<10%), consistent with STIL. Marked cytological atypia and high proliferative activity were absent, favouring STIL over serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma. This case highlights a rare association between chronic tuberculous inflammation and early tubal neoplastic transformation. It emphasises the importance of meticulous histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation of salpingectomy specimens.
