Intestinal endometriosis (IE), a chronic condition affecting a notable percentage of women with endometriosis (estimates varying from roughly 4% to 37%) and can impact any part of the intestine, but it most frequently involves the rectum an…

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a well-established etiological agent for cervical cancer, yet its contribution to endometrial malignancies remains underrecognized and mechanistically distinct. This paper synthesizes current evidence to explai…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value as diagnosis makers of cancer antigen (CA)125, human epididymis 4 (HE4), and CA72-4 serum levels in ovarian endometriosis (OvEndo). PATIENTS, MATERIALS AND METHODS: The serum leve…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic multifactorial disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The clear etiopathogenesis of EM is unclear. Increasing evidence was gathered about the crucial invol…

Endometriosis represents an estrogen-dependent disease of the female reproductive system and intra- and extraperitoneal regions, with chronic feature. Currently, immune cells, such as macrophages and lymphocytes, are considered to play a pi…

Endometriosis is a relatively frequent pathology in gynecological practice. We performed an analysis to demonstrate the molecular changes that occur in endometriosis synthetic progestin-treated patients, hoping to sketch a possible pathophy…

AIM: Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) in young women, with previous gynecological abdominal surgery, is the first condition considered by many practitioners when a tumor in the region of the scar appears. AWE seems to be caused by an iatr…

Females require at a certain period of life the administration or supplementation of specific hormones (estrogen, progesterone), for various needs, such as: prevention of unwanted pregnancies, decreased menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea and …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a benign estrogen-dependent gynecological disease involving components of the female genital tract (uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries, large, round, and utero-sacral ligaments) and intra- and extraperitoneal regi…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a benign disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. EMs associated with ovarian cancer (OC) has a relative low incidence (5% to 10%), sometimes with evidence of a transitio…

BACKGROUND: Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are associated with a wide variety of cutaneous and mucosal infections and with malignancies in humans. More than 100 HPV types have been identified, some of which have affinity for skin and others …

Adenomyosis is a benign pathology, common to both women at reproductive age as well as later during menopause. This condition is accompanied by a strong symptomatology, which has induced intense research on this topic. From a morphological …

The incidence of adnexal masses in pregnancy has increased significantly over the last decades and this is mostly because of the widespread use of ultrasound for pregnancy surveillance. Although a clear majority of adnexal masses found in t…

Endometriosis is a benign pathology, commonly found in women at reproductive age. It is represented by the ectopic presence of the endometrial glandular epithelium in several tissues and organs. This ectopically located tissue can display p…

Endometrioid endometrial carcinoma has an overall good prognosis. However, variable five-year survival rates (92%-42%) have been reported in FIGO stage I, suggesting the involvement of other factors related to tumor biological behavior. The…

The aim of this paper is to report a very rare case of müllerianosis (endosalpinx, endometrium, and endocervix) in a post-menopausal woman. Müllerianosis of the bladder is a very rare disease, which affects mainly the women of the reproduct…

INTRODUCTION: An adnexal mass (mass of the ovary, Fallopian tube, or surrounding connective tissues) is a common gynecological problem. Ovarian pathology can occur at any time from fetal life to menopause. Sonography is a clinically importa…

Endometriosis is a gynecologic condition affecting mainly the pelvic organs. However, extrapelvic endometriosis has been reported in almost all parts of the body. Umbilical endometriosis, either primary or secondary, is uncommon and has a d…

Ovarian cancer is still the leading cause of death from malignant genital tract lesions. Ovarian carcinomas represent about 90% of cancers that arise in the ovaries and are commonly diagnosed around menopausal age. This study examines diffe…

UNLABELLED: Endometriosis represents a chronic female genital tract disease characterized by implants outside the endometrial cavity, leading to alteration of pelvic anatomy and having as result chronic pelvic pain and infertility. AIM: Fro…

Adenomyosis and endometriosis are lesions which have aroused the interest for the investigation of antibodies specific to the structures from the composition, but also for the cause behind the appearance of these lesions in completely diffe…

This paper describes a case of thoracic endometriosis in 36-year-old woman with a long delay in diagnosis. At the admission in the hospital, the patient had a medical history of persistent dysmenorrhea since the age of 13, infertility and a…

Endometriosis is a benign disease defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterus and is associated with both pelvic pain and infertility. The most common sites of endometriosis, in decreasing order of frequen…
