CHANGES IN THE OVIDUCT. 277 Section (c) shows a wall exhibiting marked compactness, andconsisting almost wholly of connective tissue. The lumen is small,and only two primary folds are seen. Case XXVIII.—Chronic Bilateral Staphylococcic Salpingitis andOvaritis. Aged forty-four years. Duration of condition, one year. Symp-toms, pain in lower left iliac region and irregularity of Case of gross specimen. The gross specimen includes uterus, oviducts, and ovaries re-moved by hysterectomy. The uterus is enlarged and the tubes foldclosely about the ovaries in such a way that gross differention ofthese structures is impossible. The tubes are enlarged equally, andthe changes are approximately the same on both sides. Microscopic Examination.—Both tubes exhibit the same relativeenlargement and a corresponding similarity of pathological distal ends of the tubes definitely surround the ovaries.
