Mucin Biology as a Local Diagnostic and Promising Therapeutic Target in Endometriosis: Expression and Glycosylation Profiling.

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, yet its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the expression of …

Endometriosis beyond the pelvis: Insights from atypical presentations leading to diagnostic delays.

Cholesterol granuloma forming the solid components within an endometrioma showing intense FDG uptake, mimicking malignancy: A case report.

A mural solid component (SC) within an endometrioma (ovarian endometriotic cyst), demonstrating internal vascularity or increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET), is considered a characteristic finding suggestive …

Endometriosis as a Systemic and Complex Disease: Toward Phenotype-Based Classification and Personalized Therapy.

Endometriosis is traditionally conceptualized as a pelvic lesion-centered disease; however, mounting evidence indicates it is a chronic, systemic, and multifactorial inflammatory disorder. This review examines the molecular dialog between ectopic …

The biology and clinical aspects of female infertility.

Female infertility is a multifactorial condition with complex biological and clinical underpinnings. Biologically, female-related infertility may stem from disruptions in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, impaired folliculogenesis, oocyte maturation defects, uterine …

Evaluating serum cyclooxygenase-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor as biomarkers for endometriosis severity in reproductive-age women.

Endometriosis affects approximately 10-15% of reproductive-age women and up to 70% of those with chronic pelvic pain, with diagnosis typically relying on invasive laparoscopy with histopathological confirmation. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and …

Endometriosis in adolescent: a review of current diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines and expert consensus.

Endometriosis is a widespread gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial like tissue outside the uterine cavity. According to the literature, the frequency of endometriosis in adolescents remains unclear; …

Global RNA expression analysis of patient samples identified potential diagnostic biomarkers specific for peritoneal, ovarian and deep endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic and debilitating gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide (190 million), often leading to chronic pain, infertility, and considerable economic burden. Despite …

Uncommon diagnostic aspects of adolescent endometriosis: case series with narrative review of the literature.

Endometriosis is a gynecological disorder for which awareness and detection rates are rising globally. The purpose of this study is to highlight atypical presentations of the disease; to present four …

The diagnostic value of serum inflammation, coagulation and tumor indexes in differentiating stage III and IV ovarian endometriotic cysts.

Ovarian endometriotic cysts (OEC) are classified into early (I-II) and advanced (III-IV) stages. Stage IV OEC is characterized by severe adhesions and anatomical distortion that complicate surgical management. Accurate preoperative …
