The paroophoron (of Johnson; pl.

: paroophora) consists of a few scattered rudimentary tubules, best seen in a child, situated in the broad ligament between the epoöphoron and the uterus.

[1] Named for the Welsh anatomist David Johnson who originally described the structure at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth.

It is a remnant of the mesonephric tubules[2] and is homologous to the male paradidymis.
