Endosalpingiosis is a non-neoplastic condition characterized by the presence of ciliated epithelium, resembling tubal epithelium, in heterotopic locations. Its presence has been reported in several anatomical sites in the pelvic, abdominal, and thoracic cavities. Herein we report a rare case of endosalpingiosis presenting as a cystic mass with spinal nerve root attachment.
