Re: strange embryoFrom: Allen Worrall (jworrall@alaska.net)Sat Oct 26 20:42:29 2002
The images were just too small for me, and when I tried to enlarge them, they became very unclear. I wonder if that could have been a focal myometrial contraction? Probably not. A polyp that large could be missed at D&C or suction curettage, but I would think when the second ultrasound was done a polyp that large would be perfectly obvious. Very strange, and thank you, Dr. Nickolidakis for bringing this to us. I hope someone can offer a good explanation.

On ultrasound I saw an embryo with positive heart beat and CRL: 5mm. There was a strange round solid mass in the coelomic space 10mm in diameter. It was looking something like a polyp. I also thought about possible partial mole. I am sure that this 'polyp' were into the sac. It was covered by the trophoblast. As the patient had already decided to do an elective abortion, D&C was performed. Even the pathologist were aware for the case, he could not be able to find any anomaly ! I examined the patient on the 13th day after her new menses. No pathology was seen. There was a normal triple line endometrium. Does anybody has seen such a thing ? Dr Y.Nickolidakis Athens Greece
