Summary: A rare case is described in which a diverticulum of the middle portion of the right Fallopian tube was demonstrated by hysterosalpingography. The patient aged 26 years, had a history of a ruptured left mid‐tubal pregnancy 8 years previously and was suffering from infertility. The radiographic appearance of the lesion is characteristic, the aetiology is obscure and treatment should be conservative.
