blood and fibrin. | |||

Comment: | |||
The tissue was submitted in total. | |||
The ultrasound impression (intrauterine gestational sac present) is noted. The decrease in serum beta-hCG is noted. | |||
The lack of chorionic villi on pathology is a discordance with the clinical findings. | |||
Possible explanations include non-removal and prior spontaneous passing. Clinical correlation is required. | |||
