Explain of Female Genital Pathology

56.Tubo-ovarian abscess, gross

This is an example of a tubo-ovarian abscess from Neisseria gonorrheae. Gonorrhea leads to several complications in the female genital tract, including acute inflammation with abscess formation as well as chronic inflammation with tubal scarring (and a greater likelihood of ectopic pregnancy) and pelvic inflammatory disease. Here, there is no clear boundary between tube and ovary and the dilated tube is filled with purulent material.
