Although malignant degeneration of cutaneous endometriosis is rare at only 0.3-1% in endometriosis surgical scars, diagnosis and management need to be defined. A case of malignant degeneration of perineal endometriosis is reported, with a r…

ObjectiveTo investigate whether genes that had been found to be differentially expressed in deep-infiltrating endometriosis and matched eutopic endometrium in our previous complementary DNA microarray study also are differentially expressed…

ObjectiveTo investigate whether WT1 protein expression is altered in eutopic endometrium of endometriosis patients.DesignProspective study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)Patients with endometriosis and fertile women with macroscopical…

BACKGROUND: The scarcity of human ovarian tissue is a major problem in developing research on ovarian cryopreservation. We were interested in ovarian cortex surrounding benign ovarian cysts harvested during their requisite operations. METH…

Endometriosis, a common gynecological disorder that causes infertility and pelvic pain, is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within extra-uterine sites. However, despite extensive studies its etiology and pathogenesis…

ObjectiveTo quantify the expression of transforming growth factor beta1 in nerve fibers in endometriotic lesions and to correlate it with dysmenorrhea and appearance of endometriotic implants.DesignProspective comparative study.SettingUnive…

ObjectiveThis study was undertaken to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p27Kip1 and proliferation marker Ki67 in peritoneal endometriosis and eutopic endometrium.DesignProspective study.SettingUniversit…

ObjectiveTo investigate the angiogenic status of the vasculature in peritoneal endometriosis based on macroscopic appearance.DesignProspective study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)Patients with peritoneal endometriosis.Intervention(s)…

We evaluated angiogenesis in eutopic endometrium and ectopic endometrium from patients with endometriosis. Microvessels were identified by immunohistochemistry using anti-von-Willebrand factor antibody and vascular parameters were measured …

From January 1989 to December 1990, 196 patients were treated by hysteroscopic endometrial resection for abnormal uterine bleeding. A survey in February 1993 revealed a satisfaction rate of 82%. Persistence of abnormal bleeding after resect…

OBJECTIVE: Study of factors affecting risk of failure after hysteroscopic endometrial resection. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective study of 196 patients treated by hysteroscopic endometrial resection for abnormal uterine bleeding from January 19…

A clustering of radiologic signs are associated with the presence of ovarian and/or peritoneal endometriosis: some indicate fibrosis of uterosacral ligaments (isthmic desaxation of the uterus, fixed retroversion), othes are linked to dysfun…
