MRI-based morphology of ovarian clear cell carcinomas.

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a distinct histological subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer characterized by unique biological behavior and heterogeneous clinicopathological features. In contrast with other epithelial ovarian malignancies, …

Peritoneal Incretin Deficiency and Tirzepatide as a Multi-Axis Adjuvant Hypothesis in Treatment-Refractory Endometriosis: A Mechanistic Framework Linking Metabolism, Immunity, Fibrosis, and Nociception.

Endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a chronic systemic disorder extending beyond the classical estrogen-dependent paradigm, integrating metabolic, immune, fibrotic, and nociceptive pathways that sustain lesion persistence and refractory pelvic pain. …

Postoperative and long-term outcomes of nerve-sparing segmental rectal resection and complete nodular resection of rectal endometriosis.

Rectal endometriosis is a severe form of deep endometriosis affecting up to 12% of patients, causing significant pain and bowel dysfunction. The optimal surgical approach can be individually tailored based …

An Unusual Uterine Extension Revealing a Congenital Diverticulum: Insight Into Müllerian Duct Development.

The genitourinary system undergoes a complex development, making it prone to congenital anomalies. Müllerian duct anomalies are among these, affecting the uterus, cervix, and vagina due to errors in ductal …

Primary umbilical endometriosis masquerading as strangulated umbilical hernia: a diagnostic pitfall.

Primary umbilical endometriosis (Villar's nodule) is a rare entity, representing 0.5%-1% of all endometriosis cases. We report a 37-year-old multiparous woman presenting with a 7-day history of umbilical pain, swelling, …

Endometriosis is Widely Involved in Retroperitoneal Lymph Nodes: Rare Systemic Disseminated Manifestations.

Thoracic Endometriosis and Catamenial Pneumothorax: Imaging Pitfalls and an Integrated Diagnostic Approach.

Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare form of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax occurring in women in temporal association with the menstrual cycle, most commonly within 72 h before or after the onset …

FDG PET/CT in a Case of Clear Cell Carcinoma Arising From Abdominal Wall Endometriosis.

Abdominal wall endometriosis is rare. Malignant transformation of abdominal wall endometriosis is extremely rare. We describe FDG PET/CT findings in a case of clear cell carcinoma arising from abdominal wall …

Enhanced detection of vascularization in rectal endometriosis: A comparative study of microvascular flow and power Doppler.

Conventionally, rectal endometriotic nodules have been considered as poorly vascularized. However, new, more sensitive, Doppler techniques have been developed recently for assessing microvascularization. These new techniques might allow microvascularity in …

The Microbiota-Endometriosis Axis: An Immune-Endocrine Integration Model and Emerging Therapeutic Targets.

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation and persistence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Despite its high prevalence and significant impact on quality …
