Umbilical endometriosis, or Villar's nodule, is a rare form of cutaneous endometriosis in which ectopic endometrial tissue involves the umbilical skin. It may occur without any history of abdominal or …

Endometriosis-related alterations in the endometrium revealed by integrated single-cell and AI-powered approaches.

Endometriosis, affecting 1 in 9 women, presents treatment and diagnostic challenges. To address these issues, we generated a comprehensive single-cell atlas of endometrial tissue, comprising 466,371 cells from 35 endometriosis …

Stromal-only endometriosis catamenial pneumothorax: A diagnostic algorithm with potential pitfalls.

Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare form of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax occurring synchronously with menstruation and represents the most common manifestation of thoracic endometriosis. CP predominantly involves the right hemithorax …

Anti-Müllerian hormone decreased in women with superficial peritoneal endometriosis and associated with an elevated inflammatory profile.

Endometriosis is a common, inflammatory condition impacting 200 million women and those assigned female at birth, where 25-40% experience infertility. Ovarian endometriosis is known to decrease anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels …
