<pre>
Submitted as "Retained Products of Conception":
- Small and large chorionic villi with cisterns, suggestive of hydropic abortus, see comment.
- Benign decidual tissue present.
- Negative for evidence of fetal tissue in sampled tissue, see comment.
 
Comment:
Imaging previously described a gestational sac and a fetal heart beat.
