Excerpt from The Birmingham Medical Review, Vol. 44: A Monthly Journal of the Medical Sciences; July to December, 1898

In a large number of cases pregnancy within the Fallopian tube results in the formation of a tubal mole at a very early Stage of gestation. Hemorrhage occurs (as Mr. Bland Sutton has explained) into the sub-chorionic chamber from the circulation of the embryo. In other words blood is poured out into the space between the amnion and chorion, the embryo is injured or destroyed, and a mole of pregnancy results in the same way as it does when a similar accident occurs within the uterus. In a very few cases (one is reported by Mr. Sutton) the mole is extruded from the Fallopian tube into the abdominal cavity, forming a true Tubal abortion. In by far the greater number of cases, however, the mole remains strongly attached at one part to the inner surface of the tube. This point of attachment marks the site of what would afterwards have been the placenta if the pregnancy had continued to develop, and some of the specimens of tubal mole afford good opportunities for examination into its usual extent and consistency. The union of tube and ovum is remarkably firm in this situation.
