Bleeding in newborns and young girls fascinated writers for more than a millennium. Initially, there was confusion between neonatal bleeding, early menstruation due to precocious puberty, and hemorrhage due to disease. During the 19th centu…

Classically endometriosis develops sometime after menarche and has been reported in girls as early as 10 years. There is limited knowledge about early-onset endometriosis, particularly about disease progression and its effect on fertility. …

OBJECTIVE: Based on the hypothesis that neonatal uterine bleedings (NUB), occurring mostly in the first week after birth, could represent a pathogenetic mechanism for early-onset endometriosis, this systematic review (SR) was undertaken to …

The availability of non-invasive diagnostic tests is an important factor in the renewed interest in adenomyosis, as the disease can now be more accurately mapped in the uterus without a need for hysterectomy. An agreed system for classifyin…

review
2019
BACKGROUND: We reviewed published cases of uterus-like mass (U-LM), endomyometriosis, polypoid adenomyoma (PA), adenomyomatous polyp, atypical PA (APA), and adenomyoma. SEARCH METHODS: PubMed, Medline, and Scopus searches of all cases publi…
review
2018
To confirm the origin of cancer found in both the endometrium and the myometrium is difficult. Cancer may spread from the endometrium into adenomyotic foci or vice versa. Also, premalignant changes may arise at either or both sites. Investi…

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: We reviewed reported cases of endocervicosis, endosalpingiosis, and müllerianosis of the bladder or ureters in women in order to highlight these conditions as distinct from endometriosis or adenomyosis. METHODS…
review
2018
Increasing evidence indicates that early onset endometriosis (EOE), starting around menarche or early adolescence, may have an origin different from the adult variant, originating from neonatal uterine bleeding (NUB). This implies seeding o…

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP) is a rare, life-threatening event, particularly relevant to women with endometriosis or deciduosis. METHODS: To determine the type of lesions leading to SHiP, a literature search wa…

There continues to be debate over the nature and progression of ovarian endometriomas in adolescence due to the possibility that they may have a different origin and to the impossibility to be able to predict progress. The hypothesis of a d…

This chapter discusses the diagnosis, molecular aspects of adenomyosis, its contributions to pain and infertility and poor pregnancy outcomes, and medical and surgical therapeutic options. Over the past 25 years, the diagnosis of adenomyosi…

As of today, there is no proof that the ovarian endometrioma in an adolescent represents a progressive condition, although evidence is accumulating that active management of this phenotype of endometriosis is warranted. Indeed, although sym…
review
2017
The pathophysiology of (deep) endometriosis is still unclear. As originally suggested by Cullen, change the definition "deeper than 5 mm" to "adenomyosis externa." With the discovery of the old European literature on uterine bleeding in 5%-…

Introduction: The pharmacodynamic effects of various combined oral estrogen-progestin combinations (COC) are examined for their components alone or in the various combined formulations. Special emphasis is given to products containing natur…

Neonatal uterine bleeding (NUB) has been carefully studied in the past through case reports, small series, clinical cohort studies, pathology investigations of fetal and neonatal. Following a historical recount, this review summarizes biolo…
review

Spontaneous Hemoperitoneum in Pregnancy (SHiP), an unprovoked (nontraumatic) intraperitoneal bleeding in pregnancy (up to 42days postpartum), is associated with serious adverse pregnancy outcomes. To evaluate the clinical consequences of SH…

2016
Management of ovarian endometrioma is a matter of debate between those advocating early treatment and those believing that cysts less than 3 cm in diameter should not be submitted to surgery. To explore a new approach to its management capa…

review
2016
Neonatal uterine bleeding (NUB) occurs in approximately 5% of newborns and is generally considered to be of little clinical significance. However, the real clinical importance of this condition and its long-term implications remain to be de…
review
2016
Accumulating evidence indicates that adolescent endometriosis is common and often severe. Here we explore the possibility that seeding of naive endometrial progenitor cells into the pelvic cavity early in life, that is, at the time of neona…
review
2016
INTRODUCTION: Treatment of ovarian endometriomas is commonly achieved through laparoscopic surgery and this can be effective in eliminating the disease, although a majority of recent trials documented an adverse effect of surgery on ovarian…
