We have read with interest the writing of Martin and Koninckx (1Martin D, Koninckx PR. Juvenile cystic adenomyomas: acquired adenomyosis variant or congenital Müllerian defects? F S Rep. In press.Google Scholar) as well as the publication o…

Abstract Background: To study the effectiveness of an aromatase inhibitor (Anastrozole) associated to levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD, Mirena®) in the treatment of endometriosis.Methods: Prospective, randomized clinic…

In this review, the elements included in both sex determination and sex differentiation are briefly analyzed, exposing the pathophysiological and clinical classification of disorders or anomalies of sex development. Anomalies in sex determi…

Background: Effectiveness of Anastrozole and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD, Mirena®) in the treatment of endometriosis. Methods: Randomized clinical trial. Elegibility criteria: Endometriomas >3×4 cm, CA…

OBJECTIVES: To study endometriosis-associated borderline or malignant ovarian epithelial tumors by analyzing their differential clinical features, as well as the histological pattern, survival and immunohistochemical data compared with thos…

UNLABELLED: To help physicians and radiologists in the diagnosis of female genito-urinary malformations, especially of complex cases, the embryology of the female genital tract, the basis for Müllerian development anomalies, the current cla…

AIMS: To determine the prevalence of endometriosis in epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC) and the association among their histological subtypes and with endometrial carcinoma. METHODS: An observational cohort study performed in 192 patients o…

OBJECTIVE: A randomised and controlled experimental study was carried out to determine the effect of short and long series of treatment with recombinant human interferon-alpha-2b on surgically induced endometriosis in rats. STUDY DESIGN: N…

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this paper is to report the long-term results of surgery without bowel resection in patients suffering from deep infiltrating endometriosis with rectovaginal or colorectal involvement. METHODS: This retrospective…

BACKGROUND: To raise awareness about the accessory and cavitated uterine masses (ACUM) with functional endometrium as a different entity from adult adenomyosis and to highlight the importance of a correct diagnosis, we studied four new case…

Six cases with a coexistence of endometriosis and genital anomalies among 112 patients with external endometriosis and 90 patients with genital anomaly were detected. Three cases of severe endometriosis associated with uterovaginal duplicat…

Immunological changes and gene expression anomalies are involved in the etiopathophysiology of endometriosis, although how these alterations are connected is not well established. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship betw…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical, therapeutic, and pathologic features of published cases presenting primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the ovary associated with endometriosis. METHODS: A case report, 15 cases of infiltrating SCC o…

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the gynecological pathologies and extragenital anomalies associated with unilateral renal agenesis (URA) and the possible origin of these congenital anomalies. DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study. SETTING: Univ…

at the time of orchidectomy (Carmignani et al., 2007).We used this technique in azoospermic patients.I believe that in the case of poor compliance by the patient or parental reluctance to masturbation, this method could be used to recover s…

BACKGROUND: To analyze the therapeutic results of recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) left in the cysts after transvaginal ultrasound (US)-guided drainage of endometriomas as an alternative to surgery. METHODS: Prospective and randomized cli…

We present an exceptional case of a patient with complete cervical atresia and total vaginal aplasia. After McIndoe vaginoplasty, cervicoitsmic resection with implantation and reimplantation of the uterine corpus in the neovagina, and conse…

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between aromatase expression in endometriotic tissues and clinical and laboratory findings. DESIGN: Prospective basic and clinical research. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): Sixty-two women w…

The aim of this double-blinded study was to determine changes in leukocyte populations in blood, peritoneal lavage fluid, eutopic and ectopic endometrium after treatment with recombinant rat interleukin-2 (IL-2) using an in vivo experimenta…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of interleukin-2 (IL-2) on an experimental model of endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: Double blind and randomized experimental prospective placebo-controlled study. Experimental endometriosis was induced in 66 …

Cytochrome P-450 aromatase is responsible for catalysing the conversion of androstendione into estrone, so its expression in endometriotic tissue could contribute to the development of endometriosis. The aims of this study were, on the one …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the changes in cytokine levels from women with endometriomas who are treated with recombinant interleukin-2 after ultrasound-guided cyst aspiration, and to relate these changes to the clinical results observed in the…

BACKGROUND: To analyze the therapeutic results of one dose of 3 million IU of recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) left intracyst (group I) versus two doses with a 1-month interval (group II) after transvaginal ultrasound (US)-guided drainage …

We performed a double-blind, randomised controlled trial to evaluate the results of ultrasound-guided aspiration of endometriomas under the effect of GnRH analogues and a possible additional beneficial effect by leaving 600000 IU of recombi…

BACKGROUND: The goals of the present work were to study the embryotoxic effects of peritoneal fluid (PF) in women with or without endometriosis, and to relate any embryotoxicity to the severity of endometriosis, infertility or achievement o…
