Ovarian turnoues are seen in females of any age. Although ovarian tumours account for 1 2% of all tumours in childhood, the most frequent are germ-cell tumours and 20% of them are malignant during the first decade of life. The youngest female with an ovarian tumour recorded was in a 30-week old foetus.' The youngest female with a benign cystic teratoma has been reported to be 16-months old. We ...

Ovarian cystic masses include a spectrum of benign, borderline and high grade malignant neoplasms. Imaging plays a crucial role in characterization and pretreatment planning of incidentally detected or suspected adnexal masses, as diagnosis of ovarian malignancy at an early stage is correlated with a better prognosis. Knowledge of differential diagnosis, imaging features, management trends and ...

objective: there are some metabolic similarities between women with gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) and polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos); it is still uncertain, however, to what extent coexistence gdm and pcos affects pregnancy outcome. the present study was designed to determine the obstetric and neonatal outcome in pcos with gdm. materials and methods: a case-control study was conducted i...

background: release of vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) by ovaries in response to hcg administration is one of the main mechanisms of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome. since dopamine/dopamine receptor2 (dp-r2) pathway activity -mediated by vegf/ vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (vegfr-2) signaling-, is associated with angiogenic events, dopamine agonists were used for th...

two-hundred and seventeen subjects underwent transvaginal ultrasound -17 (8%) had unilateral polycystic ovary (pco). twelve percent of subjects with unilateral scan-pea had oligomenorrhea, 24% were amenorrheic, 23% were hirsute and 29% had acne. biochemical parameters were compared between subjects with unilateral scan- pco and those with bilateral scan- pco (n=200) as well as a group of scan-n...

Blepharophimosis syndrome (BPES), an autosomal dominant syndrome in which an eyelid malformation is associated (type I) or not (type II) with premature ovarian failure (POF), has recently been ascribed to mutations in FOXL2, a putative forkhead transcription factor gene. We previously reported 22 FOXL2 mutations and suggested a preliminary genotype-phenotype correlation. Here, we describe 21 ne...

Background: Infertility is an important and common problem in couples that needs to assisted reproductive technology (ART) or the other drug therapies. Infertility has been known as a risk factor for ovarian cancer, breast cancer and endometrial cancer but there is a question about the relationship of these cancers to infertility itself or drugs and methods of infertility treatment. Materials a...

Ovarian tumours are rare in children and account for approximately 1% of all the tumours of childhood (Schultz, 1926). The majority are benign, the commonest being cystic teratoma. Tumours causing sexual precocity and pseudoprecocity are particularly rare; Wilkins (1957), in a long experience of paediatric endocrinology, personally encountered only one case. The ovarian tumour most often respon...

background: polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) represent one of the common endocrine disorders which influence around 8% of reproductive women whom usually suffering from obesity and increase cardiovascular risk. serum homocysteine levels are associated with bad impact on endothelial functions and considered as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. objective: the aim was to stu...
