Any pathologists on here

Please
I have a report with wording that doesn't make sense to me

I may be able to help.

Cross section of left fallopian tube identified with focal subserosal ectopic decidua is seen

A small separate fragment showing prominent Arias stella change is also included.

Also paratubal cyst identified

This isn't my area of expertise, but from Google, these changes all sound like they have been induced by progesterone. Was there a conclusion noted at the end of the report?

No conclusion. I had a bilateral salpingectomy after my 3rd section. Would these be normal readings.when I googled I could see it was due to progesterone. Would thay mean hormones left after pregnancy maybe ?! Thanks for looking into it for me

Don't worry, the findings are all benign changes that are related to your recent pregnancy.

Many thanks !

They are incidental findings which are pregnancy related (including soon after delivery) which are of no clinical consequence.

Thanks so much.
