Non-communicating accessory uterine horns with an endometrial cavity are the most common and clinically significant unicornuate subtype of Müllerian duct abnormality. They are generally associated with symptoms of dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia,…

AIM: This study was to investigate the correlation between ovarian chocolate cysts and serum carbohydrate antigen (CA)-125 levels and to demonstrate the effect of ultrasound-guided interventional sclerotherapy (UGIS) on serum CA-125 levels.…

A 38-year-old woman was found to have a deep 3.3-cm endometriotic nodule of the bladder, confirmed by cystoscopic resection and imaging. Ultrasound also confirmed a 2.6-cm vaginal fornix implant with similar appearance to the bladder mass. …

Human endometrium regenerates and regresses with each menstrual cycle under hormonal control throughout a woman's reproductive life. The cyclical regeneration and remodeling potentials allude to the existence of stem/progenitor cells in the…

Malignant degeneration of endometriosis in the inguinal region is rare, and has only been reported in six cases in the literature, none of which was detected during pregnancy. We present the first case of endometriosis-associated adenocarci…

AIM: The aim of this study was to identify factors that can predict clinical course among patients hospitalized with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). METHODS: Ninety-three patients who needed hospitalization with a diagnosis of PID were …

AIM: The aim of this study was to determine clinical performance of gestrinone combined with ultrasound-guided aspiration and ethanol injection in treating chocolate cyst of ovary. METHODS: Sixty-eight patients enrolled in this study were …

AIM: We planned to histologically demonstrate unintentional ovarian harm caused by excision of endometriomas. METHODS: One hundred and seven patients with 135 endometriomas had laparoscopic excision of endometriomas at a tertiary health-ca…

Polypoid endometriosis is a rare type of endometriosis. We report a case of polypoid endometriosis of the ovary mimicking ovarian carcinoma with peritoneal dissemination. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a left ovar…

Primary retroperitoneal Müllerian adenocarcinoma (PRMA) is an extremely rare tumor and the cause remains unknown. We report a case of PRMA arising from endometriosis. A 52-year-old woman with a history of malignant lymphoma underwent a foll…

Few reports on malignant transformation of adenomyosis are available, and endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising from cystic adenomyosis is further rarely reported. We report a case of a 67-year-old asymptomatic woman who was referred to our h…

AIM: Endometriosis is a common disease in women of reproductive age, and many different treatments have been developed, although none has provided a cure. In this study, the efficacy of losartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker an…

AIM: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) plays a role in regulation of inflammation. The role of SIRT1 in endometriosis remains unknown. We here addressed the anti-inflammatory effects of SIRT1 on endometriosi…

AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the laterality of ovarian endometrioma on pregnancy outcome of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) in infertile patients undergoing laparoscopic cystectom…

A 34-year-old, gravida 0 para 0 Japanese woman visited a regional hospital complaining of dysmenorrhea, hematuria during menstruation, and right inguinal pain. She had a history of dysmenorrhea and three prior rounds of in vitro fertilizati…

AIM: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of thalidomide for treatment of experimental endometriosis. METHODS: This study was a parallel-group, double-blind, stratified, randomized controlled animal trial with 1:1 allocation ratio. Endo…

We report a rare case of rectus abdominis muscle endometriosis excised under ultrasound guidance. A 36-year-old woman came to our observation presenting an abdominal nodule located in the right side of the umbilical area. Ultrasound of the …

AIM: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of the ultrasonographic discrimination of benign adnexal masses. METHODS: This was a prospective study, evaluating 245 consecutive cases using real-time gray-scale ultrasonography in a tertiary educat…

AIM: To evaluate whether the classic risk factors for Allen-Masters syndrome, such as body mass index (BMI) and spontaneous births, are in fact responsible for the condition in patients with endometriosis. METHODS: A total of 26 women who …

AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of various symptoms and their associated characteristics in women with adenomyosis who underwent hysterectomy, and to determine which symptoms are likely to go with which others in t…

AIM: In this article, we hypothesized that significant pain in the immediate postoperative period is due to a deeper degree of thermal ablation, down to the myometrial layer, and consequently an increased likelihood of successful outcome. …

AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin C on the growth of experimental endometriotic cysts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The endometrium of the uterine horn wall (diameter, 4 mm) was implanted onto the inner surface o…

AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of coagulation versus suture used for hemostasis during laparoscopic excision of a unilateral endometrioma for outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF). MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospe…

Endometriosis of the perineum and vulva is extremely rare, with the most common site being episiotomy scars. We report here a case of spontaneously developing perineal endometriosis successfully treated with local excision. A 39-year-old wo…

AIM: The aim of this study was to identify factors that can predict the resistance to parenteral therapy in patients with tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOA). MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a case-control study involving 55 admitted patients …
