How rare is endosalpingiosis?

Endosalpingiosis is generally considered uncommon, but how rare it is depends heavily on who’s being studied and how it’s found. Many cases are discovered incidentally on pathology, meaning tissue is identified under the microscope after surgery done for other reasons, so it’s likely underrecognized in the general population. In other settings, such as surgical cohorts, it may appear more often simply because more tissue is sampled and examined carefully.

What matters most for patients is that endosalpingiosis can be confused with endometriosis on imaging or even at surgery, but it doesn’t always behave the same way clinically. If you’ve been told you have endosalpingiosis and also have pelvic pain, bowel/bladder symptoms, or fertility concerns, our team can help interpret what that finding means in the context of your symptoms and operative/pathology reports.
