Cystic Walthard Nests of the Peritoneal Diaphragm: A Report of 3 Cases of a Common Process at an Unusual Site and Occurring in Patients With Endometriosis
International journal of gynecological pathology : official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists ·doi:10.1097/pgp.0000000000000879

Nests of cells resembling urothelium, eponymously named "Walthard nests," are well-known incidental findings over the fallopian tube and occasionally undergo cystification resulting in clinical detection and surgical removal. Only rarely is…

International journal of gynecological cancer : official journal of the International Gynecological Cancer Society ·doi:10.1136/ijgc-2020-001541

BackgroundRisk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy is the 'gold standard' for preventing tubo-ovarian cancer in women at increased risk. However, when performed in pre-menopausal women, it results in premature menopause and associated detrimenta…

Morphologic and Molecular Characteristics of Mixed Epithelial Ovarian Cancers.
The American journal of surgical pathology ·doi:10.1097/pas.0000000000000476

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) consists of 5 major histotypes: high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), endometrioid carcinoma (EC), clear cell carcinoma (CCC), mucinous carcinoma (MC), and low-grade serous carcinoma (LGSC). Each can have a bro…

Anti-proliferative effect of mycobacteria, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha on primary cultures derived from endometrial stroma: possible relevance to endometriosis?
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1046/j.8755-8920.2003.00114.x

PROBLEM: To assess the effects of mycobacteria and inflammatory cytokines on proliferation of endometrial stromal cells. An effect on endometrial stromal cell proliferation in vitro may suggest a similar effect on endometriotic cells in viv…

Increase in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)- and CD56+ cell-mediated killing of endometrial stromal cells by mycobacteria; a possible role in endometriosis immunotherapy?
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deh340

BACKGROUND: Immunological therapies have shown promising results in the treatment of endometriosis. Mycobacteria are one of the most common immune therapies used in other diseases. We have assessed the effects of mycobacteria in altering th…

Nucleolar organiser regions in normal, hyperplastic, and neoplastic endometria
International journal of gynecological pathology : official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists ·doi:10.1097/00004347-199001000-00005

Nucleolar organiser regions (NORs) can be visualised by a silver stain that shows NOR-associated proteins as black intranuclear dots (AgNORs). NORs are loops of DNA that transcribe to ribosomal RNA, and the number of AgNORs is thought to re…
