Endometriotic cysts often develop in the ovaries, while endometriotic nodules commonly develop in extra-ovarian sites. Herein, we report a rare case of an endometriotic cyst occurring in the mesosalpinx, and immunohistological reviews of it…

OBJECTIVE: We investigated a possible association between endometriosis and polymorphisms in the genes encoding epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) and EGF in a Japanese population. METHODS: We compared the distribution of the Eg…

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentration in endometriosis patients is higher than controls, in serum and ascites, suggesting that VEGF may play an important role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. In this study…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is inherited as a complex trait, which means that multiple susceptibility genes interact with each other and with environmental factors to produce the phenotype. We investigated the frequency of glutathione S-transf…
