A rare case of endometriosis occurring in paratesticular mesothelial cyst is presented. It was found in a 7 mm mesothelial inclusion cyst of tunica vaginalis in a 46-years-old old man who underwent a radical orchiectomy for seminoma. It showed a typical histologic pattern with endometrioid cylindrical epithelium and cellular stroma. The lesion was immunohistochemically positive for estrogen rec...

Ectopic endometrial tissues are rarely observed on the serosal surfaces of bowel and laparotomy incisions, in the lungs, bones and in the urinary tract. Recto-sigmoid junction is the most common site of extra-genital endometriosis, with less frequent sites being the rectovaginal septum, small intestine, cecum and appendix. Endometriotic cyst in a retroperitoneal location mimicking a retroperito...

Here we analysed rare and acute complications of endometriosis in pregnant women by searching Cochrane, HINARY, PubMed databases. Keywords were “rare”, “causes”, “acute”, “complications”, “endometriosis”, “pregnancy”. The search depth was 10 years (2011−2021). In total, found 126 publications, 41 which met the selection criteria. course pregnancy childbirth patients with is insufficiently studi...

INTRODUCTION Endometriosis affects 3 to 10 percent of women of reproductive age. Most of the time it involves the pelvis; however, sites of endometriosis have been reported almost anywhere in the body. Appendiceal and primary umbilical endometriosis are considered rare loci, making accurate diagnosis elusive. Here we present the case of a 46-year-old woman with concurrent appendiceal and umbili...

Pancreatic endometrial cyst is an extremely rare instance of ectopic endometriosis that was first described by Marchevsky in 1984. A 21-yr-old woman with a history of epigastric pain and weight loss was found to have a cystic lesion in the pancreas on CT-scan. Under the tentative diagnosis of a pancreatic cystic neoplasm, partial pancreatectomy was performed. Histopathological examination of th...

BACKGROUND In many studies in rodents, intraperitoneal endometriosis-like lesions are surgically induced by syngeneic or autologous transplantation of uterine tissue samples, which are sutured to the abdominal wall. However, until now the surgical techniques have not been standardized, and we address this issue here. METHODS Uterine tissue samples were transplanted to the peritoneum of C57BL/...

Five hundred and nine Laparoscopic examinations performed between 1987-91, (147 procedures for evaluation of gynaecologic pelvic pain and 313 for infertility) revealed ectopic pregnancy (27%), twisted ovarian cyst (18%) and acute pelvic inflammatory disease (14%) in cases of acute gynaecologic pain, and endometriosis (17%) and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (16%) in chronic pelvic pain.
