Background: Determination of oocyte and embryo quality are one of the most important goals in IVF. Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) is secreted by the ovarian granulosa cells into blood flow and follicular fluid. Follicular fluid anti-mullerian hormone level is probably a marker of activity of granulose cells. Objective: To evaluate whether high level of follicular fluid anti-mullerian hormone leve...

Following the publication of Lillie's (1917) observations and theories on the endocrine basis of the development of the bovine freemartin, experiments were initiated to determine if heterosexual gonad grafts to the chorio-alantoic membrane of chicks could stimulate formation of intersexes (Willier, 1927). Hormone extracts of testes and urine were used by Dantchakoff (1935) and Kozelka & Gallagh...

Subjects/Discussion. Two cases of clinical and radiological response of recurrent mixed Mullerian tumours following treatment with either nasal (Buserilin) or intramuscular (Goserilin) GnRH analogues are reported and a short review of the evidence to support this treatment option presented.

Synchronous genital tract neoplasms constitute a more common clinical problem than would be generally expected. This case focuses on mixed mullerian tumours and postulates a mechanism for an increased incidence found associated with synchronous genital tract neoplasms.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is characterized by Mullerian duct aplasia in an XX individual with female phenotype presenting primary amenorrhea at adolescence. Multiple abnormalities may be associated with the MRKH syndrome. Genetic investigations focused on the genes of anti-Mullerian hormone and its receptor, as well as on Wt1, Pax2, Cftr and Hox genes, have been unproductiv...

Spontaneous rupture of the uterus is a rare occurrence. We report a case of uterine rupture associated with a mixed mullerian tumour which presented as a acute abdominal emergency. We further discuss a review of the world literature. *Corresponding author: Hill NCW, Consultant Gynaecologist, The Princess Royal University Hospital, Orpington, Kent, UK, E-mail: Nicholas.hill1@nhs.net Received Aug...

Mesenteric cysts are heterogeneous groups of lesions. Most of them are developmental cysts of lymphatic and enteric origin or cystic neoplasm such as mesothelioma or cystic teratoma. Urogenital cysts are a subcategory of developmental cysts of the mesentery. They are thought to arise from vestigial remnants of urogenital apparatus. These cysts may show evidence of mesonephric or metanephric dif...
