The serum concentration of the tumour marker CA 125 was determined during an inflammatory adnexitis of a young woman of 22 years of age, the measured value being 478 kU/l. After the inflammation had subsided, a malignoma was largely exclude…

Between 1983 and 1986 40 patients were treated for external genital endometriosis with the LHRH agonist buserelin. Ovarian suppression was achieved for a period of six months with a dose of 900 to 1,800 mcg per day. In addition to gynecolog…

Prognostic significance of DNA content and of distribution of cell cycle phases in ovarian carcinomas (stage III and IV) were investigated using flow cytometry. From 37 tumors 15 had DNA indices less than 2.5 and 22 had DNA indices greater …

An endometrial lesion of the terminal ileum led to a mechanic ileus following vaginal hysterectomy in the first case. In the second case endometrioid carcinoma developed in an endometriotic lesion of the cul-de-sac 6 years after hysterectom…

The case of a 28-year old patient with a rare complication of an extensive endometriosis externa is described. A spontaneous pneumothorax occurred on 3 occasions corresponding each time with the start of the menstrual period. The various hy…

The tumor markers CA 125, CEA, and CA 153 were measured in the serum of patients with malignant and benign gynecologic diseases. In 90% of 76 serous and endometrioid ovarian carcinomas CA 125 values were elevated (greater than 35 U/ml). In …

Careful and early surgical intervention allowed preservation of the uterus following ruptured interstitial pregnancies in two women still desirous of pregnancy. One patient had a history of extirpation of the ipsilateral adnexa, the other p…

Twenty-six women, most of them with advanced endometriosis (Stage III according to Acosta), were treated for six months with the LH-RH agonist Buserelin. After initially increased liberation both of the gonadotropins as well as of the sexua…

This is a report on a rare case of extragenital endometriosis with malignant degeneration. A woman of 40 years of age presented about 15 years after Caesarean section with a rapidly growing malignant node in the region of the scar from Pfan…

Even though, in every 7th to 8th patient with endometriosis, it occurs in the efferent urinary tract, little attention has been paid this fact, generally speaking. This may be due in part to the atypical symptomatology of ureteral or respec…

The present paper reports on the value of gynecological-clinical examinations and preoperative ultrasonography in the diagnosis of benign and malignant ovarian tumors. Out of a group of 42 patients, in all of whom "ovarian cyst" had only be…

In general surgery patients, endometrioses can occur in the gastro-intestinal tract; they can also appear as cicatricial endometrioses or can be manifested as other, rare localisations of endometriosis tissue. In many cases it is not possib…

UNLABELLED: Tissue slides of 230 epithelial ovarian cancers were examined by two different pathologic teams to determine the following details: histological pattern, grade of polymorphy, mitotic index, density of chromatin, presence of nucl…

25 patients with stage III and IV ovarian carcinoma were treated with radical surgery and postoperative chemotherapy. Analysis of the disease-free intervals and the survival rates indicated significant differences related to the stage of th…

Ovarian tumours form a broad spectrum of histological types which reflect significant differences with regard to their biological behaviour and their responsiveness to radiological and cytostatical therapy. Precise subclassification is a pr…

The importance of postoperative radiotherapy in patients with epithelial ovarian carcinomas was examined critically by means of our own results and the experiences published in international literature. 220 (36.2%) patients out of 608, whos…

131 selected patients underwent preoperative laparoscopy directly before surgery and under the same anaesthesia during the period 1981-1984. In all 131 patients several findings were present in combined form that would have permitted abdomi…

The authors report on a female patient with stromal endometriosis. Clinical observation at the authors' clinic extended over an unusually long period, i.e., 17 years. After describing the histology, clinical symptoms, and therapeutic possib…

In the literature, figures quoted for the involvement of the urinary tract range between 1% and 11%, adenomyosis being the exception rather than the rule. The problems of preoperative diagnosis are illustrated with reference to five of the …

The Lipoprotein profile of 24 patients with endometriosis was determined before, during and after the treatment with the two steroid hormones Lynestrenol (10 mg/day) and Danazol (600-800 mg/day). The total cholesterol triglycerides, beta-, …

A so-called Deciduoma caused severe intraabdominal haemorrhage in third trimester of pregnancy. The bleeding from the hypervascular tumor resulted in the decompensation of balanced placental insufficiency and thus led to fetal distress.

The results of 308 laparoscopies performed in infertile women were evaluated retrospectively. In 185 patients (60%) the laparoscopy was the last step in otherwise negative infertility evaluations (unexplained infertility). In 123 patients (…

Es wird über zwei Patientinnen berichtet, bei denen durch eine Endometriose Stenosen im Bereich des Dick darms aufgetreten waren. Pathogenetisch erklärt sich diese Dickdarmendometriose am ehesten durch die Implantationstheorie. Die Symptoma…

The article deals with the various theories, hypotheses, localisations and experiments in connection with the genesis of uterine and extrauterine endometriosis. It is explained that there is not just one single valid cause; rather, it will …
