Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was the early identification of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) versus non-endometriosis associated ovarian cancer (NEOC) or non-cancerous tissues using pre-surgery contrast-enhanc…

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis, limited early screening tools, and the aggressive nature of the disease. Increasing global efforts have been …

OBJECTIVE: Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma is a rare, aggressive ovarian cancer subtype, newly classified by the World Health Organization in 2020. This study examines the clinical, ultrasound, pathological features, and survival outcomes o…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic, gynecological condition affecting 6-10 % of reproductive-age women. While these lesions are benign, ovarian EMS presents cancer-like features, and can progress to endometriosis-correlated ovaria…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to describe 2 types of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer: those with transitional elements (atypical endometriosis and borderline tumors) termed endometriosis-correlated or incidental benign endometriosis v…

Ovarian carcinomas represent a heterogeneous group of neoplasms consisting of separate entities with distinct risk factors, precursor lesions, pathogenesis, patterns of spread, molecular profiles, clinical course, response to chemotherapy, …

Adenosarcomas are the rarest form of uterine sarcomas, and clinical experience with their management is still limited. Here, we reported 7 patients with uterine adenosarcoma referred to our institution, focusing on main pathologic features,…

BackgroundExtra-abdominal metastases in low grade endometrial carcinoma are rare events. Inguinal lymphatic spread occurs usually in advanced disease and is associated with abdominal lymph nodes involvement. To our knowledge, isolated ingui…

In the event of multiple synchronous gynecological lesions, a fundamental piece of information to determine patient management, prognosis, and therapeutic regimen choice is whether the simultaneous malignancies arise independently or as a r…

PurposeTo evaluate whether, after pituitary desensitisation, the impedance to flow in the uterine vessels may be an indicator of an ICSI programme outcome, and to test the relationship between intrafollicular nitric oxide and oocyte/embryo …

Purpose: To assess the transvaginal sonographic pattern of peritoneal inclusion cysts, a common consequence of adhesions formation often related to pelvic surgery, endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Patients and methods: Twenty‐…
