Ovarian Enterobiasis—A Proposed Pathogenesis*

Edwin N. Beckman AND John B. Holland
Department of Pathology and Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Ochsner Medical Institutions, New Orleans, Louisiana

An Enterobius vermicularis within the parenchyma of the ovary is a rare phenomenon. We present a case and propose that the gravid female, after wandering from perianal skin into the vagina and then through the female genital passages, arrived at the ovary and entered a recently ruptured graafian follicle.

Accepted for publication March 10, 1980.
