It has been shown by comparative study of prepubertal ovaries both in the normal and ectopic positions that there is obvious follicular development which is quantitatively greater in ectopic ovaries. If the follicles reach the stage of cavitation they generally progress towards atresia. In any case it is possible however for follicular rupture to occur in the true sense with the onset of luteinisation. A perfectly developed corpus luteum has been observed in the ovary of a newborn infant.
通过对青春期前处于正常位置和异位的卵巢进行比较研究表明，存在明显的卵泡发育，异位卵巢中的卵泡发育在数量上更多。如果卵泡达到空泡化阶段，它们通常会走向闭锁。然而，在任何情况下，随着黄体化的开始，真正意义上的卵泡破裂都是可能发生的。在一名新生儿的卵巢中观察到了一个发育完全的黄体。
