Two main theories have been proposed to explain the origin of adenomyosis. The first theory postulated that adenomyosis results from invagination of the endometrial basalis into the myometrium as a repair mechanism after injury. Alternative…

According to the theory of retrograde menstruation, endometriosis would be due to the existence of Müllerian anomalies (MA) causing obstruction of the menstruation outflow tract. The aim of the present study to describe endometriosis findin…

The association between endometriotic ovarian cysts (EOC) and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is well known, although DIE is still often under diagnosed. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of transvaginal ultra…

The aim of this study is to provide the description of ultrasound (US) findings of a rare entity that occurs during pregnancy in patients with ovarian endometrioma, whose echo pattern changes by hormonal influences and mimics a malignant ov…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the interobserver agreement for diagnosis of deep endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum using introital 3-dimensional (3D) sonography. METHODS: Two experienced observers (observers A and…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate interobserver agreement in the diagnosis of deep endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum using introital three-dimensional ultrasonography (3D-US). Two experienced observers (Observers A and B) per…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of introital three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal sonography for preoperative detection of rectovaginal septal endometriosis. DESIGN: Ultrasonographic results were compared with surgical and hi…

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease predominantly found in women in reproductive age and typically causes pelvic pain and infertility. Ovaries are one of the common sites that endometriosis affects but different types of endome…

To evaluate by ultrasonography the presence of uterine adenomyosis using the pathologic result as the reference of standard. Since January 2006 to December 2007, 572 patients were surgically treated for benign uterine pathologies, including…

To retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of power Doppler three-dimensional (3D-PD) ultrasound in discrimination between endometriomas and hemorrhagic cyst. A total of 111 patients with adnexal cystic mass were recruited. Three-d…

To compare the features using the histogram data between hemorrhagic and endometriosis cysts. 28 patients have been retrospectively evaluated, 14 of them with ovarian endometriotic cyst (EC) histologically proved and 14 with hemorrhagic cys…
