Abstract

A unique group of patients, representing 110 consecutive abdominal hysterectomies wherein parametrial varicosities were associated with pelvic transudate, mild uterine engorgement, cervical engorgement, and ovarian cystic enlargement, were studied conjointly by the pathologist and surgeon. A diagnosis of pathologic phlebectasia was assigned after appropriate criteria were applied. Speculation regarding pathogenesis and descriptions of results of therapy are given.
