Pelvic MRI is increasingly performed as a second-line investigation in suspected complex cases of endometriosis, to precisely localize lesions and to optimise surgical planning. To facilitate MRI evaluation and inter-disciplinary …
Vulvar endometriosis is an exceptionally rare manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis, particularly when located at the site of a prior episiotomy. Often misdiagnosed as more common vulvar pathologies, these lesions may …
Accessory Cavitated Uterine Malformation (ACUM) can be misdiagnosed as other uterine pathologies, such as Müllerian anomalies, adenomyosis, or fibroids. In the present case series, we report on data of eleven …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Despite several existing theories, the etiology and molecular mechanisms of endometriosis remain to be investigated. Here we report …
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 …
Objective: To analyze multiple aspects of advanced bladder endometriosis surgery, based on the experience of an endometriosis reference center. Methods: This retrospective/prospective study included 80 consecutive patients with deep bladder …
Endometriosis diagnosis is often limited by the resolution of conventional imaging techniques (ultrasound/non-targeted MRI) as well as the invasiveness and recurrence risks associated with laparoscopy. To overcome these challenges, we …
We investigated whether ovarian endometriomas uniformly express functional FSH receptors (FSHR) and respond to FSH by activating transcriptional programs that drive aromatase and steroid hormone production. Endometrioma cyst capsules were …
Endometriosis (EM) is driven by immune dysregulation and macrophage dysfunction, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, metabolomic profiling revealed excessive itaconate accumulation in EM lesions, primarily due to elevated …
This study aims to demonstrate that Andrographolide, an herbal immunostimulant, can influence M1 macrophages to inhibit inflammation, including the growth of endometriosis caused by inflammation. This study evaluates the effects …
