Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is rare, and most cases arise from ovarian teratomas. Herein, we present a case of ovarian SCC arising from an ovarian seromucinous borderline tumor (SMBT) with squamous overgrowth. A 71-year-old woman …
We present a case in which attenuation imaging (ATI), a recently developed ultrasonographic application, facilitated the diagnosis of preplacental and postplacental haematoma. Placental abruption is a serious condition that affects the prog…
Our previous genome-wide association study has demonstrated that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in intronic and downstream regions of IL1A (interleukin 1α) were associated with the risk of endometriosis. These SNPs on the ge…
Ovarian pregnancy very rarely occurs and its exact mechanism is unclear. Here, we report a case of ovarian pregnancy resulting from cryopreserved blastocyst transfer. The patient was a 34-year-old woman who had undergone bilateral ovarian c…
BACKGROUND: Endometriotic cells display invasive characteristics, despite their benign histological appearance. Recently, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, in which epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal and migratory properties, has att…
GPR54 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) which was formerly an orphan receptor. Recent functional study of GPR54 revealed that the receptor plays an essential role to modulate sex-hormones including GnRH. Thus, antagonists of GPR54 are …
PURPOSE: To determine the first line of infertility treatment for managing patients with unilateral or bilateral ovarian endometriomas. METHODS: We evaluated pregnancy outcome in patients who had received ovarian surgery for unilateral (Gr…
OBJECTIVE: Various types of malignancy can develop in patients with endometriosis. Enhancing mural nodules have been reported as an imaging characteristic of malignant transformations. We evaluated contrast-enhanced MR imaging to determine …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential role of prostaglandins (PGs) in tubal function in endometriosis. SUBJECTS: Fallopian tubes were obtained from 36 women undergoing abdominal total hysterectomy. METHODS: PG production of the human fall…
The role of prostaglandins (PGs) in dysmenorrhea of endometriosis is poorly understood. The relationship between dysmenorrheic severity and prostaglandin production was investigated in endometriosis. Slices of normal myometrium, adenomyosis…
In order to investigate the production of eicosanoids in human endometrium, myometrium, leiomyoma, adenomyosis, normal ovary, non-endometrial cyst and endometrial cyst, slices of each tissue were incubated. 6-Keto-prostaglandin (PG) F1 alph…
In order to investigate whether prostanoids are involved in the pathophysiology of endometriosis, prostaglandin and leukotriene concentrations in peritoneal fluid were measured in adenomyosis, ovarian chocolate cyst and uterine leiomyoma. I…
