Deciduosis classically occurs in the context of known endometriosis in the pelvis, most commonly in the ovaries, but also in the peritoneum. However, ovarian deciduosis outside the context of endometriosis is rare and makes diagnosis difficult, especially as the sonographic appearance suggests a malignant process. We report a case of decidualized ovarian mass in a patient without prior history ...

undescended ovary is a rare entity and usually presentedas a case report. it is associated with urinary and uterine anomalies. symptomatic patients are diagnosed during surgery. most of the patients are asymptomatic and treatment is unnecessary. they are incidentally diagnosed during infertility evaluation and treatment such as ovarian hyperstimulation studies. a 15-year-old female patient pres...

background:   acute appendicitis with appendicial endometriosis is a very infrequently encountered condition during pregnancy. decidualization is the hypertrophy of endometrial stromal cells by the effect of progesterone. similarly, in pregnancy, ectopic stromal endometrial cells in endometriosis can also be transformed by the same mechanism and ectopic decidua (deciduosis) may occur case: here...

BACKGROUND The precise etiology of endometriosis is not fully understood; the involvement of stem cells theory is a new hypothesis. Related studies mainly focus on stemness-related genes, and pluripotency markers may play a role in the etiology of endometriosis. We aimed to analyze the transcription pluripotency factors sex-determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2), Nanog homeobox (NANOG), and octamer-...

Endometriosis is classically defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the endometrial lining and uterine musculature. With an estimated frequency of 5%-10% among women of reproductive age, endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder. While in itself a benign lesion, endometriosis shares several characteristics with invasive cancer, has been shown to undergo maligna...

BACKGROUND Several observations of the coexistence of endometriosis and cancer have been published. One study concerning endometriosis patients from 1969 to 1986 showed an overall relative cancer risk of 1.2 and relative risks for breast cancer, ovarian cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to be 1.3, 1.9 and 1.8, respectively. The aim of this study was to see whether these risk ratios stand in an ...

Endometrioma is one of the main pathologies of endometriosis, though its pathogenesis still remains enigmatic. Ovarian reserve is defined as the number and quality of the follicles left in the ovary at any given time. The cause of infertility in women with endometriosis is multifactorial. Diminished ovarian reserve is major concern in women with endometriosis-associated infertility. Cystectomy ...

Endometriosis is defined as presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. It is a common disorder of women in reproductive age. It is estimated to occur in ten percent iof women in this age and even more in patients with infertility and pelvic pain. Endometriosis varies in appearance from a few minimal lesions to massive ovarian endometriotic cysts that distort the tubo-ovarian anatomy ...

BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a common benign condition, which is characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue in ectopic sites outside the uterus. Laparoscopic excision of the disease is frequently carried out for the treatment of severe endometriosis. Pelvic adhesions often develop following surgery and they can compromise the success of treatment. Ovarian suspension (elevating both o...
