The cumulus oophorus ("heap of eggs") is a collection of the cells in a mature follicle that protrude into the cavity of the follicle. It is a sign of imminent ovulation, but its absence has little significance in predicting the maturity of the oocyte.
On ultrasound, the cumulus oophorus appears as a cyst along the wall of the dominant follicle.
