We report three cases of adenosarcomas arising from extraendometrium of the uterus: one arising from the ovary, one from the paracolpium and one from the endocervix of the uterus. Microscopically, they consisted of an admixture of benign-ap…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of leuprolide acetate (LA), a GnRH agonist (GnRH-a), and of danazol on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis in patients with endometriosis. DESIGN: Ten patients were divided into LA and danazol trea…
To explore the role of mutational activation of members of the ras family of cellular protooncogenes in the development of human ovarian neoplasms, a series of 37 ovarian tumors from Japanese patients was studied. These included 30 common e…
Effects of danazol, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (leuprolide), and danazol-leuprolide combination on experimental endometriosis were evaluated in female rats. A complete resorption of the fluid and a marked decrease in the volume …
The chronic administration of GnRH agonists to women results in the reversible suppression of estrogen production by the ovary. In the present study, the mechanism of the GnRH agonist suppression of estrogen production was investigated in p…
Fetal, normal adult, and malignant tissues of the uterine endometrium were examined by immunoperoxidase staining for Lewis antigens. Pronounced expression of Lewis-a, Lewis-b, and Lewis-Y antigens in malignant tissues was observed, compared…
The localization of peptide hormones and serotonin in ovarian mucinous and endometrioid tumors with argyrophil cells was examined by immunohistochemistry. All of the 15 mucinous tumors had argyrophil cells which resemble the enterochromaffi…
