Rare peripheral nerve lesions comprise a histologically diverse group of neoplastic and non-neoplastic entities, characterized by infrequent occurrence and variable clinical presentations, presenting significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This study …
The molecular mechanisms through which endometriosis-related ovarian neoplasms (ERONs) develop from benign endometrioma remain unclear. It is especially a long-standing mystery why ovarian endometrioma has the potential to develop into …
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) cleave proteins of extracellular matrix thus facilitating cellular invasion and cancer progression. High MMP-2 activity is frequently reported in several diseases including endometriosis and cancer. Endometriosis, though …
Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of female genital tract malignancies. While it primarily arises in the uterus, extrauterine cases, including those originating in the ovary, …
Endometriosis, a persistent inflammatory disease, is associated with pelvic or abdominal pain. The immune system and sensory nervous system show a synergistic effect on regulation of pain. In particular, Interleukin-33 …
Endometriosis, a benign, chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, affects 15% of women of reproductive age. Galectins, a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins, …
Endometriosis may become malignant, and its diagnosis is challenging, especially in rare extra-ovarian sites like the rectum. Here, we describe the case of a 42-year-old woman who presented with intermittent …
There are many histologic types of gynecologic malignancies. I reviewed three rare ovarian tumor types that have poor prognoses. Ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a newly described histological type known …
Episiotomy is a perineal incision enlarging the vaginal opening during labor, preventing severe perineal/vaginal/ano-rectal lacerations. We performed a systematic literature review (PRISMA guidelines; Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science databases) …
Disruptions in uterine tissue function contribute to disorders such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, endometrial cancer, and fibroids, which all significantly impact health and fertility. Advances in transcriptomics, particularly single-cell RNA sequencing, …
