Endometrioma: Contemporary Approach to Diagnosis and Management.

Endometriomas affect up to 44% of women with endometriosis and are associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced ovarian reserve. Diagnosis and management are clinically challenging, requiring a nuanced …

Rectal Clear Cell Carcinoma Arising from Endometriosis: Case Report and Literature Review.

Background and Clinical Significance: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that can occasionally be associated with malignant transformation. The most common site of malignant transformation is the ovary, but there …

Immunohistochemistry combined with Alcian Blue-Periodic Acid Schiff (AB-PAS) staining in the differentiation of ovarian seromucinous borderline tumors and mucinous borderline tumors.

This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features of ovarian seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBTs) and mucinous borderline tumors (MBTs) and to establish a diagnostic approach using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Alcian …

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Risk for Hysterectomy Following Insertion of a Levonorgestrel-releasing Intra-uterine device: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Evidence regarding risk for hysterectomy following treatment for benign gynecological conditions with a Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) is limited. We assess whether race and ethnicity are associated with hysterectomy risk …
