Hsemorrliage into the lumen of the tube occasionallyoccurs in axial rotation of a mobile tubal swelling, and this gives riseto the same type of acute abdominal symptoms as are associated withtorsion of the pedicle of an ovarian cyst {see p. 702). Suppurative Salpingitis Suppm:ative inflammation of the tube is usually due to an acuteascending infection which has reached the tube from without. The. Fig. 329. Suppurative Salpingitis (Early Stage). Under a high power the round-celled infiltration of the stroma is seen ; pus-cells and lymphocytes are present in the lumen. organisms are vk-ulent and invade (1) the connective-tissue elementsof the mucosa, and (2) the entire tube-wall as far as its peritonealcoat. There is fust seen a very marked thickening of the plicae {see ) ; this is due in part to the dilatation of the blood- and lymph-vessels, and in part to an inflammatory infiltration of the stromawith polymorphonuclear pus-cells and mononuclear round cells,the latter being derived from the proliferation of the fixed connective-tissue cells. Numerous lymphocytes also are seen both in the swollen PLATE XIX
