Increased nerve fiber density in functional layer endometrial biopsies of women with endometriosis correlates with disease and pain, suggesting this as a minimally invasive diagnostic marker.

AI-generated deep summary by claude@2026-06, 2026-06-07

The paper discusses diagnostic approaches for genital endometriosis, focusing on morphologic and immunohistochemical assessment of nerve fiber expression in endometrial tissue. It summarizes evidence that the density of nerve fibers in the functional layer of the endometrium in women with endometriosis is significantly higher than in healthy women, and that measuring nerve fibers in endometrial biopsies yields accuracy and sensitivity approaching those of laparoscopy, with the caveat that laparoscopy still cannot evaluate depth of invasion and some studies note high nerve fiber concentration even in patients with pain but without morphologic confirmation. The authors also review how nerve fibers and related biomarkers are linked to chronic pelvic pain and how this concept may enable a less invasive diagnostic method, potentially using endometrial biopsy rather than surgical verification. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, it proposes nerve-fiber expression in endometrial biopsies as a less invasive but reliable diagnostic route for genital endometriosis.

Abstract

True diagnosis of genital endometriosis is carried out by a pathomorpho-logical study of biopsy lesions. The density of nerve fibers responsible for the spread of the pathological process and the formation of pain, in the functional layer of the endometrium in women with endometriosis are significantly higher than that in healthy women. According to M. Al-Jefout, accuracy and sensitivity of nerve fibers in endometrium biopsies is close to those of laparoscopy. Thus, the definition of the expression of nerve fibers may be minimally invasive, but can be used in diagnosis of endometriosis.
