We report a case of endometriosis associated ovarian carcinoma that could not be diagnosed using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 29-year-old woman presented with a 3-year history of acute abdominal pain. MRI revealed a left…
Two histologic types, clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC), are the common histology in ovarian cancer patients who have associated endometriosis. However, both tumor types have distinct clinicopathological chara…
ObjectiveEpithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal pelvic gynecologic cancer. Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC) of the ovary have been associated with endometriosis, thus indicating that endometriosis…
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most common cause of gynecological cancer-related mortality. Clear cell EOC (cEOC) has a number of clinical features distinguishing it from other EOC because of frequent concurrence of endometriosis an…
In the ovary, clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and endometrioid adenocarcinoma occur in the setting of endometriosis. In this review, we discuss the role of innate immune responses, specifically endogenous ligands (also known as "alarmins"), thei…
BACKGROUND: Various theories try to explain the development and progression of endometriosis, however, no single theory can explain all aspects of this disorder. Gene expression profiling studies might reveal factors that explain variabilit…
Endometriosis affects an estimated 10% of women in the reproductive-age group. Here, we review current knowledge on molecular genesis of endometriosis-associated epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). This article reviews the English language …
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the leading cause of death in women with gynecological malignancies. Among EOC, clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC) differ from the other histological types with respect to the…
PROBLEM: Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the ovary has a number of features distinguishing it from other epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOC) because of its characteristic histology and biology, frequent concurrence with endometriotic lesion, …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis may cause symptoms including chronic pelvic pain and infertility, and increases susceptibility to the development of ovarian cancer. Genomic studies have started to delineate the wide array of mediators involved in…
The detection of an ovarian mass during pregnancy is often a diagnostic challenge. We describe 2 cases of ovarian endometrioma during pregnancy with marked mural nodules on the cyst wall. The sonographic and MR imaging findings mimicked ova…
