Fig. 3. Stereomicroscopy of three clitorises with denticulate papillae located along the periphery of each corona. Each row of images represents a series of increasing magnification from left to right. Superimposed black boxes correspond to adjacent magnified views. (A) Corona of an 86-year-old white female with marked papillae, arranged in-line, creating a fimbriated ridge along the distal aspect of the corona. Papillae are bluntly rounded and are separated from one another at their bases. Some papillae have pale-colored tips and independent bases, representing “pearly” papillae. (B) Corona of an 81-year-old white female which possesses papillae that are arranged in several rows, projecting distally from the corona. (C) Corona of a 75-year-old black female donor with bluntly rounded papillae with independent bases. Most papillae are bluntly rounded; however, the papilla in the upper right corner is conical.
