Background: Ovarian cystectomy is standard treatment for endometrioma but is associated with decreased ovarian reserve. Catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) is an ovary-sparing image-guided alternative; however, supporting evidence comprises retrospective comparative and …
Ovarian cancer was the eighth most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in 2022. The global age-standardized incidence rate of ovarian cancer decreased from 7.22/100,000 to 6.71/100,000 from 1990 to 2021. …
To examine intra-patient variability in retrieved oocyte numbers across consecutive in-vitro fertilization (IVF) ovarian stimulation (OS) cycles with an identical OS protocol.
Xanthogranulomatous oophoritis (XGO) is a rare chronic inflammatory con-dition that can mimic ovarian malignancy both clinically and radiologically. It is characterized by foamy histiocytes and inflammatory infiltrates, often leading to …
Atypical endometriosis (AE) is a histologically distinct entity considered a potential precursor to Endometriosis-Associated Ovarian Cancer (EAOC). Preoperative diagnosis is challenging as imaging often fails to distinguish AE from benign …
Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome (OHVIRA syndrome) is a rare congenital anomaly involving the Müllerian and renal systems, classically presenting as uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. Due to its rarity …
Ovarian endometriosis (OEM) is characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue growth within the ovary. In these ectopic lesions, the ectopic epithelium plays a crucial role in OEM progression and has been …
Sex cord-like morphology is now a well-known feature of occasional examples of endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary or fallopian tube. Recently, we have observed that these tumors are frequently negative …
Patients with endometriosis have greater risk of infertility, which is associated with compromised ovarian function. Dysfunction in follicular granulosa cells and hyperactivation of oestrogen receptor beta (ERβ) are evident in …
Endometriosis can impair natural reproduction through multiple mechanisms, including distortion of pelvic anatomy and chronic peritoneal inflammation. On this basis, surgical treatment might be reasonably expected to benefit. However, clinical …
