Abstract
Objective:
To evaluate the occurrence of molar pregnancy in tubal ectopic pregnancy.
Design:
Case report.
Setting:
Outpatient clinic.
Patient(S):
A 27-year-old woman.
Intervention(S):
Salpingectomy.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Molar ectopic pregnancy.
Result(S):
Ectopic partial molar pregnancy.
Conclusion(S):
Molar pregnancy can occur in ectopic pregnancy. Molar pregnancy clinically mimics normal tubal ectopic pregnancy.

02:07Oogenesis
In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...
01:27Ovarian Cycle
The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle length...
