Introduction: Endometrial stromal sarcomas usually arise in the uterine corpus while it is rare in extra-uterine sites. The most common extra-uterine site is the ovary. However, primary endometrial stromal sarcoma of the ovary rarely arises in a serous tumor. We report a case of primary ovarian ESS presenting in the wall of a serous cyst along with a synchronous endometrial stromal nodule (ESN)...

Calcium ions play an important role in the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy, but molecular and cellular regulatory mechanisms of calcium ion action in the uterine endometrium are not fully understood in pigs. Previously, we have shown that calcium regulatory molecules, transient receptor potential vanilloid type 5 (TRPV6) and calbindin-D9k (S100G), are expressed in the uterine endomet...

background: spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome rarely occurs during pregnancy and is usually associated with high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin, in conditions such as molar or multifetal pregnancies. case report: here we report spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation in a patient presenting with missed abortion at 16th week of gestation, when serum ß-subunit human chorionic gon...

Recent evidence shows that through best standard operating procedures, chances of successful pregnancy and live birth delivery rates are less than 50%. Repeated Implantation Failure (RIF) following transfer of one or more numbers of cleavage or blastocyst stage embryos is the main cause of low pregnancy rate in IVF cycles; therefore, finding the causes and modifying treatment protocols to incre...

background: premature ovarian failure (pof) is a common condition; its incidence is estimated to be as great as 1 in 100 by the age of 40 years. physiologic replacement of ovarian steroid hormones seems rational until the age of normal menopause. temporary return of ovarian function and pregnancy may occur rarely in women with pof. we report a case of pof who conceived during hormone replacemen...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to statistically compare the mean ages of the patients with gynecologic cancer in our hospital during the 2000-2009 interval. MATERIAL AND METHODS The data was collected from the Histopathology Exams (HPE) registers. RESULTS Gynecologic cancer was discovered in 1244 cases: 731 cervical cancers, 392 uterine cancers, 82 ovarian cancers, 31 vulvar cancer...

Abortion in an attached rndimentary uterine horn, followed by a normal intrauterine pregnancy.  Pregnancy in an rudimentary uterus has been occured in many forms, and up to now about 350 cases have been reported in medical journals. Most of these malforma­tions accompanied with other malformations in urinary tract.  A case of pregnancy and abortion in an attached rudi­mentary uterine horn is ...

BACKGROUND To present a diagnostic evaluation and treatment strategy for serous adenocarcinoma of the ovary discovered during an in vitro fertilisation (IVF) sequence, and report on reproductive outcome after tumour resection and embryo transfer. CASE PRESENTATION Cycle monitoring in IVF identified an abnormal ovarian lesion which was subjected to ultrasound-guided needle aspiration. Cytology...

Spontaneous uterine rupture in early pregnancy is a very rare complication and it occurs usually in scarred uteri. Here we present a case of spontaneous uterine rupture at 13 weeks of gestation in a 32-year-old woman. Our preoperative diagnosis was also uterine rupture. Emergency laparotomy confirmed our initial diagnosis. Clinical signs of uterine rupture in early pregnancy are nonspecific and...

BACKGROUND Angiogenesis has been found to be among the most important factors in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The formation of new blood vessels is critical for the survival of newly implanted endometriotic foci. The use of 3-D power Doppler allows for the demonstration of the dynamic vascular changes that occur during the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). We aimed to evaluate the ...
