BACKGROUND: Malignant transformation of endometriosis in the rectovaginal septum is rare and usually misdiagnosed as a colorectal or gynecological tumor. We report a rare case of primary endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the rectovaginal septu…
Stem cell therapies have made strides toward the efficacious treatment of injured endometrium and the prevention of intrauterine adhesions, or Asherman's syndrome (AS). Despite this progress, they are limited by their risk of tumor formatio…
Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma (OCCC) displays distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics and confers the worst prognosis among all ovarian carcinoma histotypes when diagnosed at advanced stage, because of the lack of effective therap…
RATIONALE: Uterus-like masses (ULMs) are rare benign lesions that resemble the uterus. PATIENT CONCERNS: Here, we describe the case of a woman with a ULM in the right broad ligament. A 51-year-old woman with a 2-month history of irregular v…
