Diaphragmatic involvement by an endometriotic cyst is a rare entity that may be responsible for chronic thoracic pain. Herein we present a case report of a 6-cm right diaphragmatic endometrioma treated using laparoscopic partial excision an…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrium outside the uterus, is one of the most frequent benign gynaecological diseases. It has been suggested that both endometrial and peritoneal factors, related to angiogenesis an…

The fibrinolytic system includes a broad spectrum of proteolytic enzymes with physiological and pathophysiological functions in several processes, such as haemostatic balance, tissue remodeling, tumor invasion, angiogenesis and reproduction…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic disease with a high prevalence. It is a multifactorial and polygenic entity in which the fibrinolytic system may be implicated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the plasminogen …

OBJECTIVE: To analyze three functional vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) polymorphisms (-460C/T, +405G/C, and 936C/T) in women with and without endometriosis and their correlation with VEGF expression in endometrial tissue and perit…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a highly prevalent, benign disease in which the angiogenic, fibrinolytic and metalloproteinase (MMP) systems may be implicated. The objective of this study is to analyse mRNA expression and protein levels of sev…

Endometriosis is a benign gynaecologic disease defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. This tissue has the ability to implant at ectopic sites, such as ovary and peritoneum, where a local extracellular proteolysis …

Endometriosis is one of the most frequent benign gynecological diseases that affect women. Little is known about the pathogenesis and etiology of endometriosis, despite the numerous studies performed in this field. Although endometriosis is…

BACKGROUND: The plasminogen activator (PA) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) systems are implicated in the establishment of endometriosis. The mechanisms by which these systems are involved in the pathogenesis of this disease are not well …

La endometriosis es una enfermedad ginecológica caracterizada por la presencia de tejido endometrial fuera del útero. Se trata de una enfermedad muy prevalente en mujeres con dolor pélvico o esterilidad. Aunque la endometriosis es una enfer…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is considered a benign disease that has the ability to invade normal tissue. As in neoplastic growth, local extracellular proteolysis may take place. The aim of this study is to analyse several components of the pl…
