Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to assess the risk factors associated with development tubo-ovarian abscesses in women ovarian endometriosis cysts. Methods This retrospective single-center included 176 women: 44 and 132 age-matched (1:3) patients but without abscesses. Diagnoses were made via surgical exploration pathological examination. potential evaluated using univariate a...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment for ovarian cysts, which are developed during tamoxifen use due breast cancer. STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective cohort including patients who were under stage I-III cancer and administered leuprolide acetate cysts with low malignancy risk between 2012-2020. RESULTS: Leuprolide tot...

Ovarian cyst is common incidental finding in humans and many animals and includes follicular cysts, cystic rete ovarii and mesonephric duct cysts. Ovarian cyst is often associated with reproductive disorders in humans and animals. We found accidentally bilateral cystic masses in ovaries in an African green monkey. Grossly, the left and right ovarian cystic masses were single unilocular cystic s...

BACKGROUND Spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (sOHSS) can occur following hypothyroidism. Ultrasonography facilitates diagnosis and monitoring of this syndrome. We describe ovarian sonographic changes in a hypothyroid patient with sOHSS after treatment with levothyroxine (l-T4). CASE PRESENTATION A 15-year-old girl presented with abdominal pain and distension for a few months. On e...

Currently, laparoscopic cystectomy is the first-line therapy for ovarian benign cysts that are resistant to current therapies. There are different studies that point to ovarian reserve damage due to laparoscopic cystectomy. In this study, we evaluate the ovarian damage following laparoscopic cystectomy for non-endometriosis cysts using ultrasound and pathology findings. This is a prospective co...

Ovarian cysts are common in postmenopausal women, although the prevalence is lower than in premenopausal women.Of 20 000 healthy postmenopausal women screened in the Prostate,Lung,Colon and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial, 21.2% had abnormal ovarian morphology, either simple or complex. The greater use of ultrasound and other radiological investigations means that an increasing proportion of the...

Ovarian cysts are an extremely common gynecological problem. Majority of ovarian cysts are benign with few cases being malignant. This is a retrospective study of all the cases of ovarian cysts operated in a tertiary hospital (Kathmandu Medical College, KMC) from January 2006 to December 2008. In this 3 years duration, 102 cases (2.0%) were of ovarian cyst out of the total histopathological spe...

Telomerase activation has been demonstrated in both cancers and some noncancerous lesions. However, few studies have determined levels of telomerase activity in these lesions. In the present study, using a recently developed stretch PCR assay, telomerase activity was quantitatively determined in a variety of ovarian lesions including 36 ovarian cancers, 5 ovarian low potential malignancy (LPM) ...

Background: Cytokines, chemokines, and chemokine receptors regulate the proliferation and survival of tumor cells, angiogenesis, and metastasis to other organs. This network of ligands and receptors has been used in molecular targeting of cancer. Methods: We compared the mRNA expression of CXCR3, CXCL-10, CXCR4, CXCL-12, IL-4, and IL-10 in tissues of benign and malignant ovarian tumors by qRT-P...
