Transvaginal color Doppler sonography detected diminished ovarian interstitial blood flow and increased resistance in patients with endometrioid cysts, correlating with reduced microvessel density and increased thrombospondin-1.

⚙ AI-generated deep summary by claude@2026-06, 2026-06-10 ⓘ

This study used preoperative transvaginal colour Doppler sonography in 60 patients with 76 ovarian endometrioid cysts to measure blood flow patterns and resistance indices (RI), then collected corresponding ovarian interstitial specimens for pathology. Compared with 30 age-matched patients with benign ovarian tumours, the OEC group showed diminished blood flow in ovarian interstitial arteries with significantly higher RI, lower CD34-measured microvessel density (MVD), and higher thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) protein and mRNA; CD34-MVD and TSP-1 were negatively correlated, and RI correlated with both MVD and TSP-1 in directionally specific ways. The authors’ caveat is that the mechanistic implications are inferred from correlative associations between imaging and tissue markers rather than direct demonstration of causality. This paper is centrally about endometriosis—specifically ovarian endometrioid cyst–associated injury to ovarian interstitial microvessels.
