Occurrence of calcium deposits in the ovaries of the baboon.
Calcium deposits were found in the ovaries of 87 (81-3%) of a series of 107 young female baboons. The deposits were located in the cortex and in the majority of instances were bilateral. They were thought to arise as a result of dystrophic calcification in atretic follicles.
