Endometriosis is characterised by the growth of abnormal endometrial tissue outside the uterus and chronic inflammation. Increasing evidence suggests that placenta extracellular vesicles (EVs) inhibit the growth and migration of …
Women with endometriosis often face difficulty becoming pregnant, mainly when their ovaries produce only a small number of eggs. In assisted fertility treatments, hormones are used to help eggs mature …
Thoracic endometriosis is an uncommon but likely underrecognized manifestation of extragenital endometriosis that can present with catamenial pneumothorax, chest pain, and respiratory symptoms. This case series reviews imaging findings from …
Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in evaluating gynecologic diseases, offering superior soft-tissue characterization, multiplanar imaging, and functional assessment compared to ultrasound and computed tomography. This article …
Uterine leiomyomas are common benign neoplasms, but atypical presentations such as extensive cystic degeneration are rare and can pose significant diagnostic challenges. When pedunculated and predominantly cystic, these tumors can …
Background: Cerebral endometriosis is an exceptionally rare manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis and remains a diagnostic challenge because its clinical and imaging features may mimic more common neurological, inflammatory, vascular, or …
Inguinal endometriosis is a very rare extrapelvic form of endometriosis, estimated to occur in only 0.3-0.6% of women with endometriosis. It mostly affects the right round ligament running inside the …
Cecoappendiceal endometriosis is rare and frequently mimics colorectal neoplasia, making preoperative diagnosis challenging. We report the first documented case of a cecal traction true diverticulum caused directly by endometriosis-associated smooth …
Hepatic endometriosis is a rare extrapelvic manifestation that can mimic hepatic neoplasia and, exceptionally, cause hemoperitoneum. We report a 45-year-old nulligravid woman with longstanding deep endometriosis and anticoagulation for cavoiliac …
Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the evaluation of suspected gynecologic malignancies, providing high soft tissue contrast and multiparametric capabilities, including diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast …
