Summary edit

Description
English: This is a normal ovary from a 46-year-old woman. It was removed in the course of a hysterectomy for leiomyomata (benign tumors) of the uterus. The bright-yellow wreath-like structure at the upper left is a fully developed corpus luteum, indicating that the patient is in the postovulatory (secretory) phase of the menstrual cycle. If pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum shrinks down to a tiny, white corpus albicans, one of which can be seen in the lower right part of the ovary.
