OBJECTIVE The rate of concomitant endometrial carcinoma in patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia is high. We aimed to investigate the role of lymphadenectomy in deciding adjuvant treatment in patients with concomitant atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS Women with atypical endometrial hyperplasia were enrolled in this retrospective study. ...

A 20-year-old obese Thai woman with polycystic ovary syndrome and clinical stage I well-differentiated endometrial carcinoma denied surgical staging. Chest X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging of the whole abdomen suggested neither distance metastasis nor local invasion of the cancer. After 3 months of systemic progestin therapy with megestrol acetate (MA) 480 mg/day, the endometrial carcinoma ...

This review article summarizes the salient literature on the diagnosis and management of endometrial polyps. Electronic resources including Medline, PubMed, CINAHL, The Cochrane Library (including the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews), Current Contents, and EMBASE were searched with the MeSH terms including all subheadings and keywords endometrial polyps, abnormal uterine bleeding, polyp...

Prevention of progression to invasive carcinoma in patients with a premalignant endometrial lesion using longterm treatment with levonorgestrel (LNG) releasing intrauterine systems (IUS) remains controversial, especially when manifest cellular atypia has been found in the endometrial biopsy specimen. We present a case of a 44-year old premenopausal woman with a premalignant uterine polyp who de...

Endometrial stromal sarcoma rarely occurs as an extrauterine neoplasm and it is even more unlikely to be found in the vagina. To the best of our knowledge, only six cases of primary vaginal endometrial stromal sarcoma without association with endometriosis have been published to this day. We describe a case of a 58-year-old female with a history of vaginal heaviness caused by a mass lesion. Aft...

BACKGROUND Cutaneous metastases from internal malignancies are uncommon. Moreover, endometrial carcinoma rarely metastasizes to the skin, with a reported prevalence of 0.8%. Here, we report the case of a 62-year-old woman who developed cutaneous metastases from an endometrial carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION When admitted to our department, the patient underwent a biopsy that showed the presence ...

Ovarian granulosa cell tumors represent uncommon neoplasms with estrogen-secreting capacity. Due to their association with persistently increased levels of estrogen, modifications of the endometrial tissue ranging from hyperplasia to malignant degeneration may be encountered. We present the case of a 65-year-old patient who presented for post-menopausal vaginal bleeding. The endometrial biopsy ...

BACKGROUND More than 40% of infertilities are due to endometriosis. Ultrustructural and histochemical study of endometrium will help to clarify the etiology of endometriosis. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the ultrastructure and occurrence of apoptosis in endometrial cells of women with or without endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present case-control st...

ObjectiveTo compare the live birth rate between patients who undergo personalized embryo transfer (pET) after endometrial receptivity array (ERA) versus frozen (FET) with standard timing in first single euploid FET cycles. To report of displacement window implantation (WOI) an infertile population without a history failure.DesignProspective cohort study underwent their programmed FET.SettingPri...
