AIM: The aim of this study was to observe the insides of the fallopian tubes of patients with unilateral or bilateral endometriomas by using salpingoscopy and evaluate the inner cavity of the fallopian tubes according to our original scorin…
BACKGROUND: Epithelial cells of endometriotic tissues are difficult to propagate in vitro as experimental material is scarce owing to their limited life span. However, there is an increasing concern regarding their malignant transformation …
In minilaparotomy-assisted vaginal hysterectomy, the operation begins vaginally by opening the peritoneal folds and ligating the uterine vessels and uterosacral ligaments. Minilaparotomy is then performed for myomectomy, cutting the fallopi…
We report three cases of adenosarcomas arising from extraendometrium of the uterus: one arising from the ovary, one from the paracolpium and one from the endocervix of the uterus. Microscopically, they consisted of an admixture of benign-ap…
A 68-year-old woman presented a one-month history of lower abdominal pain and weight loss, and was admitted to our hospital. On physical examination, a large hard mass was palpated in her right lower abdomen. An ultrasonograph and computed …
The clinical significance of serum sialyl Tn antigen as a tumor marker was evaluated using "STN Otsuka" kits. Results indicated that the antigen was frequently elevated in sera from patients with ovarian cancers (43.1%, 140/325), including …
During the last 13 years, 2,080 infertile patients were subjected to diagnostic laparoscopy. The mean age was 32.3 and their mean infertility period was 6.0 years. Of these, 1,263(60.7%) patients were diagnosed to have endometriosis: 587(46…
Fetal, normal adult, and malignant tissues of the uterine endometrium were examined by immunoperoxidase staining for Lewis antigens. Pronounced expression of Lewis-a, Lewis-b, and Lewis-Y antigens in malignant tissues was observed, compared…
The localization of peptide hormones and serotonin in ovarian mucinous and endometrioid tumors with argyrophil cells was examined by immunohistochemistry. All of the 15 mucinous tumors had argyrophil cells which resemble the enterochromaffi…
Cellular localization of amylase in various ovarian tumors was studied by the immunoperoxidase method using an antibody to human pancreatic amylase. Amylase was present in eight of 34 serous carcinomas and eight of 27 endometrioid carcinoma…
Of 42 endometrioid carcinomas of the ovary examined with Grimelius staining, 19 tumors were found to have argyrophil cells. Argyrophil cells were subgrouped into two types according to the distribution of the argyrophil granules. Type I cel…
The capacity for indole- or catecholamine precursor uptake and decarboxylation of the argyrophil cell adenocarcinoma of the endometrium was examined by fluorescence microscopy, microspectrofluorometry, and biochemical analyses. Both argyrop…
