| A case of xanthogranulomatous salpingitis and oophoritis in a 47-year-old woman is presented. |
| Stage III, severe salpingitis with the presence of abscessed collections that may exist in several different places. |
| A salpingitis has the same effect in causing sterility in the female as has an epididymitis in the male. |
| Several similar reported cases, sufficiently different histologically from xanthogranulomatous salpingitis and oophoritis, are not included in this list. |
| The present case is consistent with other reported cases of xanthogranulomatous salpingitis and oophoritis in its presentation, history of infection, and antibiotic treatment. |
| After acute salpingitis, the risk of an ectopic pregnancy is increased sevenfold. |
