Neuroendocrine Tumors Identified During Laparoscopic Endometriosis Surgery: A Report of 6 Cases.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) or carcinoid tumors are rare neoplasms originating from neuroendocrine cells, most commonly found in the appendix. While NETs are often asymptomatic, they may present with abdominal pain, …

NET-DNA Activates the ANXA2/TMEM215/BiP Axis to Promote Mitophagy-Mediated Anoikis Resistance in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EMs) features ectopic implantation of endometrial stromal cells (EESCs) and strong anoikis resistance, yet how inflammatory signals reprogram mitochondrial function remains unclear. Here, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), particularly their …

Stage-Related Changes in TGF-β Isoforms in PBMC Culture Supernatants in Endometriosis: A Prospective Case-Control Study.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) has been implicated in immune dysregulation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and fibrosis. Data on baseline secretion of TGF-β isoforms …

Appendiceal inversion secondary to endometriosis and dilated mucinous adenoma identified on screening colonoscopy.

Appendix intussusception (AI), with ~200 reported cases, is a rare condition in which the appendix invaginates into the cecum [1]. Etiologies include benign and malignant pathologies including both intraluminal and …

Peritoneal inclusion cyst following total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a transgender man.

Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are benign cystic lesions typically observed in women of reproductive age with prior pelvic surgery, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. To date, no cases of PICs …

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome: a case series of 4 patients with insights into diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome was first identified by Purslow in 1922 as a result of abnormal embryologic development of the Müllerian (paramesonephric) and Wolffian (mesonephric) ducts. The …

Individualized fertility preservation counselling for women with endometriosis-a systematic review.

Endometriosis is a chronic disease that may require surgical intervention under certain circumstances. Although the condition itself is associated with impaired fertility in 30-50% of affected individuals, surgical treatment may …

Prostate-specific membrane antigen immunostaining in endometriosis: preliminary findings and a case of in vivo imaging with gallium-68 positron emission tomography/computed tomography.

Exploring the mechanisms of luteolin in treating polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis via network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation.

This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying luteolin's therapeutic effects on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis (EM), thereby providing a theoretical foundation for developing novel treatment strategies. …

Functional Impairment of Activated Regulatory T Cells as a Central Immunological Defect in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a disorder of impaired reproductive immune tolerance rather than solely an endocrine disease. Although previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the number of regulatory …
