Excerpt from book: tubes are split open and are covered by tubercles on their exterior; tubercles most marked at the lateral end. Ovaries present nothing of interest except adhesions, in which tubercles are seen. Sections through the tube show that it is the seat of a marked catarrhal salpingitis; many desquamated epithelial cells in its lumen. Only a few tubercles found in the mucous membrane near the fimbriated extremity; the connective tissueis made up almost entirely of large epithelioid cells. In the outer portion of tube wall are typical miliary tubercles and free giant cells. On section the ovaries are covered with adhesions, and near the surface are many small tubercles, some of which are caseous. No tubercles are found in the deeper portions of the ovary. It is evident that the process started in the peritoneum and then affected the surface of both tubes and ovaries, and that it was just beginning to invade the lumen of the tube. Literature. 1.
