Abstract Background Endometriosis is a gynaecological condition characterised by immune cell infiltration and distinct inflammatory signatures found in the peritoneal cavity. In this study, we aim to characterise the immune microenvironment…

INTRODUCTION: Millions of women suffer from the consequences of endometriosis and uterine fibroids, with fibroids the cause for over 50% of hysterectomies in the USA, and direct costs for their treatment estimated at between US$4 and US$9 b…

Histopathology and epidemiology studies have consistently demonstrated a strong link between endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers (EAOCs)--in particular, the endometrioid and clear cell subtypes. However, it is still u…

OBJECTIVE: An analysis of consecutive hysterectomies during 1997-99 exploring the relationship between histological findings, operation performed and clinical indication was conducted to observe any trends. METHODS: A retrospective review …

This report describes a case of mucinous carcinoma and Müllerian metaplasia arising within an appendiceal duplication cyst found incidentally during an emergency Caesarian section. Intestinal duplication cysts are rare and although there ar…

AIMS: Adenomyosis is relatively rare in postmenopausal women but recent reports have described its occurrence in this age group in patients taking tamoxifen. This study describes the pathology of nine cases of adenomyosis in postmenopausal …
