CONTEXT: Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition characterized by an important inflammatory process mediated by the prostaglandin pathway. Oral contraceptives are the treatment of choice for symptomatic endometriotic women. However …
ObjectiveTo investigate key genes expression of the sphingosine-1-phosphate pathway in endometriotic tissues.DesignA case-control laboratory study.SettingTertiary care university hospital.Patient(s)A total of 31 women, with (n = 16) and wit…
Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) protein expression was not observed in any form of endometriosis (peritoneal, ovarian, or deep infiltrating endometriosis), which suggests that SF-1 locally produced by endometrial or stromal cells may not play…
Endometriosis is an enigmatic disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis, which is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. The most widely accepted theory to explain endometriosis is probably the trans…
Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1), a major protein regulating the complex cascade of steroidogenis, has been postulated to play a role in ovarian endometriosis. However, the expression in situ of SF-1 in ovarian endometriosis is unknown. To she…
ObjectiveTo analyze the expression of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors in the smooth muscle component (SMC) of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).DesignA prospective clinical and pathologic study of 60 cases of DIE.SettingUn…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by pain and infertility, where the lesions disseminate everywhere in the body with a preference for the pelvis. In that, it could be regarded as a benign metastatic disease, bec…
ObjectiveTo analyze the lymph node involvement by endometriotic foci in rectosigmoid endometriosis and to correlate it with clinical and histological parameters including the presence of lymphovascular invasions, which could explain this ly…
Malignant transformation and particularly malignant mixed mullerian tumor arising in extragenital endometriosis is extremely rare and occurs in the majority of cases after estrogen replacement therapy. We present a case of a 75-year-old wom…
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the mode and the extent of infiltration of endometriotic lesions in the large bowel. METHODS: In 31 patients undergoing large bowel resection for severe deep-infiltrating endometriosis of the sigmoid and re…
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate a possible role for nerve growth factor (NGF) in the mechanism of pain and hyperalgesia induced by deep adenomyotic nodules and other forms of endometriosis and to clarify the relationshi…
We report the case of a 30-year-old patient who underwent a segmental ureteral resection with ureteroureterostomy because of the presence of a left ureterohydronephrosis caused by an intrinsic ureteral endometriotic lesion. Preoperatively, …
The histological relationships between fibrotic tissue, endometriotic foci and nerves in the rectovaginal septum endometriotic or adenomyotic nodule were studied. This is considered to be one of the most severe forms of deep endometriosis. …
In-vitro fertilization (IVF) and ovarian stimulation are frequently performed in patients with endometriosis. Although endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease, the rate of IVF complications related to endometriosis is low. We report fo…
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (deeper than 5 mm under the peritoneum) often takes the form of a nodular lesion (or 'adenomyotic nodule') consisting of smooth muscles and fibrosis with active glands and scanty stroma. Thus, among endometri…
