Abstract

PIP: Case reports of 9 patients from whom tubal ova, including 1 fertilized pronuclear ovum, were recovered from uterus and tubes after hysterectomy are presented. The 9 ova are described along with the clinical data which include menstrual data, BBT, histology of the endometrium and corpus luteum and time of operation. Ovular morphological characteristics were not found to provide a good criterion of the time of ovulation.
