Adolescent-onset endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical challenge. It often requires years to achieve a diagnosis, leading to prolonged physical and psychological distress and significantly impairing quality of life…
Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare disease, accounting for less than 1% of all uterine malignancies. Standard treatment is total hysterectomy and bilateral tubal oophorectomy, although fertility preservation may be desi…
BackgroundHorseshoe kidney is one of the most common congenital renal fusion anomalies and is characterized by abnormalities in the position, rotation, vascular supply, and ureteral anatomy of the kidney. When performing surgery for colorec…
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the leading cause of death in women with gynecological malignancies. Among EOC, clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC) differ from the other histological types with respect to the…
PROBLEM: Clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the ovary has a number of features distinguishing it from other epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOC) because of its characteristic histology and biology, frequent concurrence with endometriotic lesion, …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis may cause symptoms including chronic pelvic pain and infertility, and increases susceptibility to the development of ovarian cancer. Genomic studies have started to delineate the wide array of mediators involved in…
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the clinicopathologic features of malignant transformation in patients with ovarian endometrioma, their treatment and outcome in the Kinki region, Japan. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients me…
ObjectiveOur prospective studies in Japan have found an increased ovarian cancer incidence in women with ovarian endometrioma (standardized incidence ratio, 8.95; 95% confidence intervals, 4.12-5.3). The risk increased with increasing age a…
The detection of an ovarian mass during pregnancy is often a diagnostic challenge. We describe 2 cases of ovarian endometrioma during pregnancy with marked mural nodules on the cyst wall. The sonographic and MR imaging findings mimicked ova…
OBJECTIVE -- The purpose of this study was to compare the potency of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists nafarelin, buserelin, and leuprolide in a newly developed model of experimental endometriosis, thus further characterizi…
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…
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…
