Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and an increased risk of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. Despite extensive research, its molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This …
To report a case of polypoid ovarian endometrioma mimicking malignant transformation, review the literature on this rare entity, and highlight its implications for surgical management and fertility preservation.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a category of small (18-25 nucleotides) non-coding transcripts that modulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, are necessary for regulatory processes in female reproduction, specifically in ovarian function …
Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer remains one of the most important unmet needs in gynecologic oncology because survival is strongly stage-dependent and most patients still present with disseminated disease. Conventional …
Polypoid endometriosis is a rare benign variant of endometriosis characterized by exuberant mass-forming endometrial tissue that can closely mimic aggressive pelvic malignancy on imaging. Although it most commonly affects peri- …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a global concern for human health and the environment. EDCs include plasticizers, pharmaceutical agents, industrial chemicals, fungicides, and pesticides. Thus, EDC exposure is a manmade consequence …
