Hormonal Therapy Deregulates Prostaglandin-Endoperoxidase Synthase 2 (PTGS2) Expression in Endometriotic Tissues
The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism ·doi:10.1210/jc.2013-2950

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 …

Sphingosine pathway deregulation in endometriotic tissues
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2011.12.051

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…

The steroidogenic factor-1 protein is not expressed in various forms of endometriosis but is strongly present in ovarian cortical or medullary mesenchymatous cells adjacent to endometriotic foci
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2011.01.131

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…

article 2010
Galectin-3 is Overexpressed in Various Forms of Endometriosis
Applied immunohistochemistry & molecular morphology : AIMM ·doi:10.1097/pai.0b013e3181f5a05e

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 Expression in Ovarian Endometriosis
Applied immunohistochemistry & molecular morphology : AIMM ·doi:10.1097/pai.0b013e3181c06948

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…

article 2009
Estrogen and progesterone receptors in smooth muscle component of deep infiltrating endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2008.12.114

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…

article 2008
Research Resource: Gene Expression Profile for Ectopic Versus Eutopic Endometrium Provides New Insights into Endometriosis Oncogenic Potential
Molecular endocrinology (Baltimore, Md.) ·doi:10.1210/me.2008-0322

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…

article 2007
Lymph node involvement and lymphovascular invasion in deep infiltrating rectosigmoid endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2007.05.011

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…

case-report 2006
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma occurring in a young patient with endometriosis and long-term ovulation stimulations
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica ·doi:10.1080/00016340600603577
article 2006
Ureteral mullerian carcinosarcoma (mixed mullerian tumor) associated with endometriosis occurring in a patient with a concentrated soy isoflavones supplementation
Archives of gynecology and obstetrics ·doi:10.1007/s00404-006-0188-1

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…

article 2001
Persisting active and proliferative intrinsic ureteral endometriosis under GNRH agonists therapy: a case with immunohistological study
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/s0301-2115(00)00531-5

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, …
