Endometriosis, the hormone-dependent extrauterine dissemination of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, affects 5–15% of women of reproductive age. Pathogenesis remains poorly understood as well as the estrogen production by endometriotic…
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate the significance of severe preoperative pain for patients presenting with ovarian endometrioma (OMA). METHODS: Three hundred consecutive patients with histologically proven OMA were en…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Deep infiltrating endometriosis is a very painful condition and the mechanism of pain is still poorly understood. Pain and hyperalgesia can partly be explained by an increased number of nerve structures in the painful lesio…
PURPOSE: The anatomopathological significance of a positive double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) for suspicion of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the large bowel was studied. This is a retrospective study of a prospective database. METHOD…
Malignant transformation and particularly malignant mixed mullerian tumor arising in extragenital endometriosis is extremely rare and occurs in the majority of cases after estrogen replacement therapy. We present a case of a 75-year-old wom…
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the mode and the extent of infiltration of endometriotic lesions in the large bowel. METHODS: In 31 patients undergoing large bowel resection for severe deep-infiltrating endometriosis of the sigmoid and re…
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate a possible role for nerve growth factor (NGF) in the mechanism of pain and hyperalgesia induced by deep adenomyotic nodules and other forms of endometriosis and to clarify the relationshi…
We report the case of a 30-year-old patient who underwent a segmental ureteral resection with ureteroureterostomy because of the presence of a left ureterohydronephrosis caused by an intrinsic ureteral endometriotic lesion. Preoperatively, …
The histological relationships between fibrotic tissue, endometriotic foci and nerves in the rectovaginal septum endometriotic or adenomyotic nodule were studied. This is considered to be one of the most severe forms of deep endometriosis. …
In-vitro fertilization (IVF) and ovarian stimulation are frequently performed in patients with endometriosis. Although endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease, the rate of IVF complications related to endometriosis is low. We report fo…
