BACKGROUND: Early detection of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains a major clinical challenge. Although serum tumor markers are widely used for detection, their diagnostic performance remains limited. We previously developed a comprehen…
INTRODUCTION: Intestinal endometriosis is a benign condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue within the bowel wall, often mimicking colorectal malignancy. Its coexistence with ulcerative colitis (UC) is rare and can comp…

BACKGROUND Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP), defined as nontraumatic, acute intra-abdominal bleeding during pregnancy or the postpartum period, is a serious life-threatening complication to mother and child. Endometriosis is a…
Ovarian cancers derived from endometrial cysts, also known as endometriosis in ovaries, are widespread histological types in Japan. Several studies suggest that zinc deficiency plays a role in endometriosis; however, the biological mechanis…
Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS) is a rare complication of pelvic inflammatory disease and its MRI findings remain poorly described. A 34-year-old woman was raced to our hospital with slight fever and severe right upper quadrant pain. Gadox…
Frequent mutation of the ARID1A gene has been recently identified in ovarian clear-cell adenocarcinoma (CCA); however, the clinical significance of BAF250a expression encoded by the ARID1A gene remains to be determined. The aim of the prese…
Ovarian clear-cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) is known to be a type of cancer in humans with a high frequency of expression of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), and glucose transporter 1 (Glut1). In thi…
The most common neoplasms of the peritoneum are malignant mesothelioma and serous papillary adenocarcinoma. Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is mostly derived from the ovary and often associated with endometriosis. We describe the clinicopatholog…
