Interpretation of the mucinous change in the fallopian tubes has been difficult because several reports consider this mucinous change as a metastasis from a mucinous tumor. To clarify this issue, we decided to retrospectively review salpingectomies from 3 institutions looking for mucinous change in the fallopian tubes and documented the clinical history of these patients. Twenty-three cases of fallopian tubes with mucinous changes were found, including 11 patients without evidence of malignancy, 4 patients with mucinous ovarian tumors, 5 patients with nonmucinous gynecologic tumors, 2 patients with mucinous appendiceal neoplasm, and 1 patient with colon carcinoma. As mucinous changes are seen in several patients who do not have a malignant tumor, we believe that these changes represent a metaplastic process. The mucinous changes are frequently seen with chronic inflammation and/or other metaplastic changes and without cytologic evidence of malignancy.
