What we have learned from isolated cells from human ovary?

Molecular and cellular endocrinology ·doi:10.1016/s0303-7207(03)00060-1

In the ovary, morphodynamics of follicles with cyclic maturation, ovulation and repair occur under the control of various tropic factors. The ovarian functions have been mostly studied by using subhuman primates and non-primate animals beca…

Salpingitis, Salpingoliths, and Serous Tumors of the Ovaries: Is There a Connection?

International journal of gynecological pathology : official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists ·doi:10.1097/00004347-200204000-00001

We have observed luminal and mucosal calcifications frequently surrounded by a mantle of bland epithelium in the fallopian tubes ("salpingoliths") of women with serous tumors of the ovaries. These lesions resemble noninvasive peritoneal "im…

Detailed morphology of human ovarian surface epithelium focusing on its metaplastic and neoplastic capability.

Italian journal of anatomy and embryology = Archivio italiano di anatomia ed embriologia

Ovarian epithelial tumors are thought to derive from the surface epithelium of the ovary, which differentiates after invagination of the coelomic mesothelium over the gonadal ridges during early embryonic development. On the putative muller…

Glial Implants in Gliomatosis Peritonei Arise from Normal Tissue, Not from the Associated Teratoma

The American Journal of Pathology ·doi:10.1016/s0002-9440(10)61672-0

Metaplasia of subcoelomic mesenchyme has been implicated, but not proven, in the pathogenesis of common gynecological diseases such as endometriosis and rarer entities such as leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata and gliomatosis peritone…

Coelomic Metaplasia Theory of Endometriosis: Evidence from in vivo Studies and an in vitro Experimental Model

Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000052855

Ultrastructure studies of pelvic peritoneal tissue from women undergoing laparotomy suggest that before endometriosis has become established in the peritoneum, there might be a metaplastic change by peritoneal mesothelial cells into endomet…

[Activated macrophages in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis: examination of the intracytoplasmic localization of endogenous peroxidase and interleukin-1].

Nihon Sanka Fujinka Gakkai zasshi

In order to study the effect of peritoneal macrophages (M phi) on conception in patients with endometriosis, the total numbers of peritoneal M phi and the proportion of the exudate type, defined on the basis of ultracytochemical localizatio…

[Endosalpingosis in the pelvic peritoneum and pelvic lymph nodes].

Nihon Sanka Fujinka Gakkai zasshi

The pelvic peritoneum with macroscopic findings characteristic of endometriosis was biopsied in 18 cases at conservative surgery for endometriosis and examined. Pelvic lymph nodes removed in 76 cases at radical surgery for uterine cervical,…
