Proliferative, secretory and menstrual endometrial cells of both the stroma and epithelium adhere to intact peritoneal mesothelium and mesothelial monolayers. Endometrial attachment to the mesothelium appears to occur rapidly (within 1 h) a…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate endometrial adhesion and invasion of peritoneal mesothelium. DESIGN: Descriptive study using confocal laser-scanning microscopy. SETTING: University-based laboratory. PATIENT(S): Women undergoing surgery for benign…
OBJECTIVE: To determine if whole fragments of endometrium can adhere to peritoneum with intact mesothelium. DESIGN: Tissue culture and immunohistochemical study. SETTING: University Medical Center. PATIENTS: Reproductive-age women undergoin…
BACKGROUND: To evaluate adhesion of menstrual endometrium (ME) to intact peritoneal mesothelium. METHODS: Explants of peritoneum were cultured for 1 h with ME (n = 6). Specimens were serially sectioned for haematoxylin and eosin stain and i…

There are many hypotheses concerning the pathogenesis of endometriosis, though no single theory can explain all cases. It is likely that several mechanisms are involved. Early studies concentrated on the histogenesis of the endometriotic le…
PROBLEM: Numerous studies have characterized the lymphocyte subpopulations in normal eutopic endometrium and suggested a role for the cytokine secretory products of these lymphocytes in regulating endometrial cell proliferation and differen…
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed (1) to characterize the resident leukocyte population in ectopic endometrium (EE), (2) to assess proliferative activity of cellular components in EE, (3) to assess whether resident leukocytes in EE express…
PROBLEM: Previous studies have shown that the endometrial epithelial/stromal cell proliferative activity of endometriosis is significantly less than that of normal endometrium and that the concentration of resident stromal leukocytes is sig…
