The histopathology of spontaneous endometriosis was studied on 20 pelvic implants biopsied at laparoscopy in 15 healthy baboons. Endometriosis was confirmed by histopathology in 10 of these animals (66%). Typical (n = 3) and subtle (n = 13)…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial glands or stroma in sites other than the uterine cavity. It is variable in both its surgical appearance and clinical manifestation often with poor correlation between the two. Surgica…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is associated with an inflammatory response. Hence infliximab, an anti-TNF-alpha monoclonal antibody, might relieve pain. METHODS: A randomized placebo-controlled trial was designed with 21 women with severe pain …

Massive hemorrhagic ascites (4470 mL, range 1-10 L) in women with endometriosis is a rare condition occurring predominantly in black women. Of the 43 case reports published, 42 are compatible with the hypothesis that the hemorrhagic ascites…

Innervation of deep endometriosis has recently been linked to its severe pain symptoms. We demonstrated for the first time that the Wilms' tumor gene 1 is overexpressed in part of these nerves.

Müllerianosis may be defined as an organoid structure of embryonic origin; a choristoma composed of müllerian rests--normal endometrium, normal endosalpinx, and normal endocervix--singly or in combination, incorporated within other normal o…

It remains unclear when to perform a discoid or segmental bowel resection for large endometriotic nodules with intestinal invasion. Moreover, endometriosis series are rather small to fully evaluate functional consequences of bowel resection…

It has been assumed that endometriosis is a progressive disease, with growth and development of lesions being inevitable once the disease has started. The implantation and the metaplasia theories describe the mechanism of initiation of endo…

Peritoneal fluid is a specific microenvironment. It originates mainly as an ovarian exudation product due to increased vascular permeability, and contains large amounts of macrophages and their secretion products, which include growth facto…

Reports in the literature of an increasing incidence of endometriosis in industrialized countries and increasing problems with pollution in these countries leads to speculation about a possible link between one of the most harmful component…

Peritoneal fluid and the intraovarian milieu are a specific microenvironment. Peritoneal fluid originates mainly as an ovarian exudation product caused by increased vascular permeability, with cyclic variation in volume and steroid hormones…
