Resumen_ingles
Hydrosalpinx consists of accumulation of clear or serous fluid in the fallopian tube, due to distal obstruction and dilatation of the same. It is a well-described but infrequent entity, especially in sexually inactive or prepubertal women, since the main etiology of the condition is usually pelvic inflammatory disease.We present the case of an 11-year-old pubertal girl (Tanner II) with no sexual activity. In these ages there are very few cases de-scribed and in all of them an underlying cause is found, although the pathogenesis is unclear. In our case, we did not find any risk factors for the appearance of hydrosalpinx, but in posterior image revisions, three months after menarche, an endometrioma was found, the exception being precisely the appearance of the malformation prior to the endometrioma, although both processes may be influenced by hormonal factors in adolescence.
