Various methods for vaginoplasty exist, but the choice depends on anatomy and body size. Conventional vaginoplasty, when performed with bowel segments rather than prosthetic materials, allows modification of canal length but lacks precise c…
Ovarian teratoid carcinosarcoma involves an epithelial tumor of the Müllerian duct and an immature neuroepithelium, which is a characteristic of immature teratomas. Here, we describe the case of a 60-year-old woman who underwent surgery for…
BACKGROUND: Extragonadal endometriosis is a rare condition, and its disease manifestation and long-term prognosis have not been elucidated. We report an extragonadal endometriosis case controlled by drug therapy for 14 years with analysis o…
Abstract Recent studies have reported cancer-associated mutations in normal endometrium. Mutations in eutopic endometrium may lead to endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. We investigated PIK3CA mutations ( PIK3CA m) fo…
Recent studies have reported cancer-associated mutations in normal endometrium. Mutations in eutopic endometrium may lead to endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. We investigated PIK3CA mutations (PIK3CAm) for three hot…
BackgroundLaparoscopic surgery has been described as a minimally invasive surgery. The purpose of this study is to clarify its minimal invasive features using a patient questionnaire on the postoperative quality of life (QOL) over various t…
Endometrial cysts (ECs) are thought to be the origin of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). A hypothesis that the oxidative stress of iron in cysts causes "malignant transformation of ECs" has been proposed, but this has not bee…

MRI plays an essential role in patients before treatment for uterine mesenchymal malignancies. Although MRI includes methods such as diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, the differentiation between uterine myoma and…
BackgroundEndometriosis is a risk factor for ovarian cancer. Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC), most commonly clear cell carcinoma, is believed to develop from ovarian endometrial cysts. In this study, we reviewed published cas…
Somatic mutations in the ARID1A tumor-suppressor gene have been frequently identified in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) cases. BAF250a encoded by ARID1A is a member of the SWI/SNF complex, but the expression and mutation status of other…
ObjectiveAlthough the postoperative use of hormonal treatment for endometriosis is recommended in the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology guidelines to prevent the recurrence of endometriosis-associated dysmenorrhoea, horm…
