INTRODUCTION: Dienogest (DNG) is widely used to manage endometriosis-associated pain; however, long-term data comparing low and standard doses are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 48-week DNG treat…
BACKGROUND: The treatment of endometriosis includes analgesics, hormone therapy, and surgery. Even after surgical removal of endometriotic lesions, the risk of recurrence remains high once the normal menstrual cycle resumes. Therefore, long…
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate MRI findings of ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) as a predictor of histological grade. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 60 patients with histopathologically confirmed OEC (…

PURPOSE: Decidualized endometriomas (DEs) and seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBTs) exhibit similar MR findings including markedly hyperintense mural nodules within endometriotic cysts on T2-weighted images. The present study aimed to asse…
OBJECTIVE:: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of MRI for differentiating between uterine submucosal polypoid adenomyomas (PAs) and endometrial polyps (EPs). METHODS:: MRI was used to examine 40 histopathologically confirmed benign po…
PURPOSE: To retrospectively compare the MR findings of histological subtypes of clear cell carcinomas (CCCs) of the ovary. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This single-center retrospective study was approved by the institutional review board, and th…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of 3D surface-rendered (SR) magnetic resonance (MR) images for surgical planning of uterine fibroids. METHODS: Ten patients with uterine fibroids underwent 3D volume isotropic turbo spin-ech…
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue has beneficial effects on the size and symptoms of endometriosis and uterine leiomyomas as a result of suppressing ovarian steroidogenesis. GnRH analogues are also the preferred treatment for a…
