A young woman presents with pain in the left hemipelvis. What's your diagnosis?

The left fallopian tube is dilated and distended with fluid possibly caused by obstruction of its terminal part. The tube is seen separate from the left ovary and urinary bladder. The normal fallopian tube is not imaged easily; however, the distended tube, or hydrosalpinx, is seen as a thin-walled tubular structure near the ovary.
