<p>Pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia of the tubal mucosa is a rare, reactive response to an underlying inflammatory or neoplastic process. We present a case of pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia in a 26-year-old woman with clinical symptomatology of pelvic inflammatory disease, and a normal serum Ca 125-level (30 U/ml). The ultrasound finding showed presence of hydrosalpinx characterized with unilateral tubal enlargement in sausage-like shape that arose from the upper lateral margin of the uterus. The young age of the patient, presence of chronic inflammation, epithelial hyperplasia with unremarkable nuclear atypia and mitosis facilitated the right diagnosis. Pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia can mimic neoplastic processes clinically and pathologically. Differential morphological and clinical features should be considered to ensure accurate diagnosis and proper management.</p>
