Abstract:
Objective To study the ultrastructure of ovary lymphatic stomata in human and compared with the animals′. Methods The morphology of human ovary surface was examined using scanning electron microscopy and the lymphatic stomatas were counted by the ELESCOPE computer image processing system. Results The human ovary epithelium was composed of cuboidal and flat cells. There were lymphatic stomatas not only among the cuboidal cells, but also among the cuboidal and flat cells. The stomata were usually circular in shape and about 1 80?0 82??m in diameter, 6 27?2 65??m in circle. Lymphatic stomata in external surface of ovary mucinous tumor was also found. Conclusion There are ovary lymphatic stomatas in human. These stomatas connect lymphatic vessels in ovary with the peritoneal cavity. They also present morphological basis for early\|metastasis of ovary tumor. [
