An accumulation of blood in a fallopian tube, usually as a result of tubal pregnancy or trauma.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'salpinx' (trumpet, referring to the fallopian tube's shape). Medical terminology borrowed the anatomical shape comparison from ancient Greek anatomy.
Hematosalpinx often occurs with ectopic pregnancies where an embryo implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus—it's a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment!
