Abscess of allantoic duct remnant.
A recently submitted placenta was found to be histopathologically unique. Funicitis was present at the early gestational age of 22 1/7 weeks, and an abscessed allantoic duct remnant was present. The latter finding had not previously been seen at this pathology department, nor could reference to it be found in the literature.
