Adenomyoma of the uterus is a biphasic nodular lesion composed of a mesenchymal component with smooth muscle differentiation and a glandular epithelium. The neoplastic nature of uterine adenomyomas has been controversial because some are co…
BACKGROUND: Uterine adenomyosis is a benign disease, common among women in their 40 and 50 s, characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue in the uterine myometrial layer. Adenomyosis causes infertility and has a negative effect on the outco…
PURPOSE: Surgeon's tactile sense is restricted during laparoscopic surgery. We aim to develop a softness sensing probe for endometriosis. Identification of the boundary of the lesion through a tactile sensor during laparoscopic surgery can …
Abstract Background : The prognosis of ovarian cancer is generally poor. To approach the onset of ovarian cancer, we investigated clinical characteristics and performed pathohistological examinations of organ specimens from ovarian cancer p…
Objective: This study compared ovarian response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation between women who previously underwent laparoscopic excision of an ovarian endometriotic monolateral cyst with women who had surgery for ovarian nonendom…
Background: Laparoscopic removal of a rudimentary uterus that has functional endometrium and colpopoiesis in a patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome have been done at the same operation. Case: Removal of rudimentary uterus wa…
AIM: Since ovarian endometrioma is frequently diagnosed in women of reproductive age, laparoscopic excision of the endometrioma is performed for most cases. However, endometriomas frequently recurs even after repeated surgical procedures. T…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy with aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on human adenomyosis xenografts in a mouse model. DESIGN: Human adenomyosis tissues were implanted SC into nude mice. We measured 5-aminolevulinic aci…
Endometriotic nodules in the lower genital tract often cause dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia. We report here a case of posterior vaginal fornix endometriosis that was overlooked for several years. We performed a trans-vaginal resection after t…
OBJECTIVE: To report a rare complication of GnRH agonist therapy for intestinal endometriosis. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): A 45-year-old nulliparous Japanese woman with catamenial digestive symptoms. I…
Endometriosis is a condition characterized by ectopic endometrial tissues located outside of the uterus, most commonly found on the pelvic peritoneum or ovary. Endometriosis, which occurs in 7-10% of women in the general population and 71-8…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clonality of ectopic gland cells in peritoneal endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective study. University hospital. PATIENT(S): Seventeen women with surgically diagnosed endometriosis. INTERVENTION(S): Samples of …
PROBLEM: We sought to examine the role of Hsp60, a 60-kDa stress-responsive protein (hsp60) with potent immunostimulatory properties, in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. We investigated the response of peritoneal fluid mononuclear cell…
To estimate the probability of pregnancy in infertile women with endometriosis, two series of multivariate analyses were performed in Tohoku University Hospital. In the first series, from 1993 to 1997, 103 patients participated. The Cox pro…
