Fig. 7.

A third exceptionally fine specimen of tubal hydatiform mole is No. 2052, donated by Dr. N. M. Davis, of Washington, D. C.

Figure 7 shows a portion of the tube containing the hydatiform mole, some hydatiform villi of which protrude through an incision in the wall of the tube. The whole opening is filled with typical hydatiform villi barely detected by the unaided eye but perfectly evident under an enlargement of 4 diameters. They present an extremely fine picture when seen with the binocular under a magnification of 10 to 20 diameters.

Examination under a higher magnification shows that the preservation of the specimen is unusually good and that all the villi are markedly hydatiform. Trophoblastic proliferation is so marked that in some places it gives the appearance of decidual formation.
