Wells' facies
Also known as:
Spencer Wells' facies
Associated persons:
Thomas Spencer Wells
Description:
A change in facial expression seen in diseases of the uterus. The terms Facies uterina and Facies ovariana are misnomers, as the condition is not specific for a disease of the internal female genital organs. However, Wells facies may appear associated with fluctuating ovarian cysts and other malign diseases of the ovaries.
