A fluid sac containing a single ovum is known as a follicle, specifically an ovarian follicle. It is a structure within the ovaries that houses an immature egg (ovum) and is involved in the process of ovulation. As the follicle matures, it produces hormones, particularly estrogen, and eventually releases the ovum during ovulation. This process is crucial for reproduction in females.

Yes, it definitely can be mistaken for a viable pregnancy. An ultrasound can usually help in determining whether it is a blighted ovum or a pregnancy.

Transabdominally, it is a blighted ovum if it measures >20mm without a visible yolk sac or >25mm without a visible embryo.
