Gross processing
Paratubal cysts are generally incidentally found on grossing of fallopian tubes, and in such cases they may be ignored, as they are essentially always benign.[2] ( or included in representative sections). Even more insignificant are sessile smaller cyst-like along the fallopian tube, which are serosal inclusion cysts.
Microscopic examination
Paratubal cysts are generally consists of a fibrous layer lined by simple cuboidal epithelium. However, they may have ciliated fallopian tubal epithelium or focal papillary projections.[1] Cilia and smooth muscle in the wall strongly favors the diagnosis, but is not necessary.
