The rectovaginal septum is an unusual location for neoplastic processes. The majority of these are extensions of tumors of the rectum or vagina. Masses arising primarily from the rectovaginal fascia are rare. Most primary rectovaginal malig…
At present, there is no curative treatment for endometriosis. Medical management and surgical treatment do not provide long-term relief. A detailed understanding of its pathophysiology is mandatory in order to facilitate both the diagnosis …
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disorder where endometrial glands and stroma are pathologically demonstrated within the uterine myometrium. The pathogenesis involves sex steroid hormone abnormalities, inflammation, fibrosis and …
Endometriosis, the hormone-dependent extrauterine dissemination of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, affects 5–15% of women of reproductive age. Pathogenesis remains poorly understood as well as the estrogen production by endometriotic…
Background: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the large bowel is infiltration of the large-bowel wall by endometrial-like implants and is associated with fibrosis and muscular hyperplasia. Deep endometriosis affects ∼20% of patients …
Gastric endometriosis is a very rare event. It enters in the differential diagnosis of cyclical or chronic epigastric pain, especially in the context of endometriotic patients. The diagnosis of a gastric submucosal mass requires further inv…
CONTEXT: Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition characterized by an important inflammatory process mediated by the prostaglandin pathway. Oral contraceptives are the treatment of choice for symptomatic endometriotic women. However …
ObjectiveTo investigate key genes expression of the sphingosine-1-phosphate pathway in endometriotic tissues.DesignA case-control laboratory study.SettingTertiary care university hospital.Patient(s)A total of 31 women, with (n = 16) and wit…
Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) protein expression was not observed in any form of endometriosis (peritoneal, ovarian, or deep infiltrating endometriosis), which suggests that SF-1 locally produced by endometrial or stromal cells may not play…
Endometriosis is an enigmatic disease of unknown etiology and pathogenesis, which is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. The most widely accepted theory to explain endometriosis is probably the trans…
Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1), a major protein regulating the complex cascade of steroidogenis, has been postulated to play a role in ovarian endometriosis. However, the expression in situ of SF-1 in ovarian endometriosis is unknown. To she…
PURPOSE: The anatomopathological significance of a positive double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) for suspicion of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the large bowel was studied. This is a retrospective study of a prospective database. METHOD…
PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of 3.0-T pelvic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the preoperative assessment of endometriosis and to evaluate colon wall involvement after intrarectal gel administration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Instituti…
ObjectiveTo analyze the expression of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors in the smooth muscle component (SMC) of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).DesignA prospective clinical and pathologic study of 60 cases of DIE.SettingUn…
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by pain and infertility, where the lesions disseminate everywhere in the body with a preference for the pelvis. In that, it could be regarded as a benign metastatic disease, bec…
ObjectiveTo analyze the lymph node involvement by endometriotic foci in rectosigmoid endometriosis and to correlate it with clinical and histological parameters including the presence of lymphovascular invasions, which could explain this ly…
Malignant transformation and particularly malignant mixed mullerian tumor arising in extragenital endometriosis is extremely rare and occurs in the majority of cases after estrogen replacement therapy. We present a case of a 75-year-old wom…
Study objectiveTo assess the impact of laparoscopic resection of endometriotic nodules in the rectovaginal pouch of Douglas on women's pain symptoms, analgesic intake, work absenteeism, work difficulties, and some elements of sex life.Desig…
We report the case of a 30-year-old patient who underwent a segmental ureteral resection with ureteroureterostomy because of the presence of a left ureterohydronephrosis caused by an intrinsic ureteral endometriotic lesion. Preoperatively, …
Objectives To confirm the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic partial bladder excision. Setting Gynaecology department at a university hospital. Subjects Two patients with symptomatic bladder endometriosis. Interventions Ureteral cathete…
