Borderline ovarian tumors primarily affect younger women and are associated with favorable prognosis, making fertility-sparing surgery a viable option. However, owing to recurrence and malignant transformation risks, careful monitoring is r…

KRAS is the most frequently mutated in ovarian endometriosis. However, it is unclear whether the KRAS mutant allele's mRNA is expressed and plays a biological role in ovarian endometriosis. Here, we performed mutation-specific RNA in situ h…

The fundamental morphology of the endometrial glands is not sufficiently understood by 2D observation because these glands have complicated winding and branching patterns. To construct a large picture of the endometrial gland structure, we …

ARID1A loss-of-function mutation accompanied by a loss of ARID1A protein expression is considered one of the most important driver events in endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. Although our recent genomic study clarified that ARID1A lo…

Summary The histological basis of the human uterine endometrium has been established by 2D observation. However, the fundamental morphology of endometrial glands is not sufficiently understood because these glands have complicated winding a…

STUDY QUESTION: Are there common mutation profiles between epithelial and stromal cells in ovarian endometriotic tissue and the normal endometrium? SUMMARY ANSWER: Our study revealed no common mutations between epithelial and stromal cells …

Endometriosis is characterized by ectopic endometrial-like epithelium and stroma, of which molecular characteristics remain to be fully elucidated. We sequenced 107 ovarian endometriotic and 82 normal uterine endometrial epithelium samples …

Levonorgestrel is used worldwide as an emergency oral contraceptive. There have been occasional reports of ectopic pregnancy after oral levonorgestrel use. We present a case of ectopic tubal pregnancy after the use of oral levonorgestrel as…
