Objective: To establish the diagnosis of a right hydrosalpinx in a woman with primary infertility. Design: Case report. Setting: Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Surgery, academic medical center and teaching hospital. Patient(s): A healthy 41-year-old woman with a history of primary infertility and a possible right hydrosalpinx. Intervention(s): Operative laparoscopy, disconnection of right hydrosalpinx, peritoneal biopsies. Main Outcome Measure(s): Establishment of diagnosis with peritoneal biopsies. Result(s): The patient was diagnosed with peritoneal pseudomyxoma peritonei, which required further treatment. Conclusion(s): Malignancies, although rare, should always be part of the differential diagnosis of external causes of tubal disease.
