A 39 y.o. woman went through an operation in course of which surgeons removed her uterine tube that was enlarged and a part of an ovary with a big cyst. Histological examination of a tube wall revealed decidual cells, chorion villi. What was the most probable diagnosis made after examination of the uterine tube?
- A. Lithopedion
- B. Choriocarcinoma
- C. Tubal pregnancy
- D. Placental polyp
- E. Papyraceous fetus
Hint
Chorionic villi and decidual cells together prove that a conceptus implanted somewhere; ask where it implanted, given that the specimen is a uterine tube.
