Description
The specimen is an enlarged, thick-walled uterus, opened to display the endometrial canal, which
is lined by a shaggy endometrium, markedly thickened in the fundal area. The size of the uterus,
and the character of the lining indicate pregnancy. The arrow in the specimen extends through the
perforation; the perforation occurred during a diagnostic curettage, presumably following a
miscarriage.
