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.
To investigate whether ovarian endometrioma is associated with disruption of the endocrine-regulated transition between the anti-adhesive modulator podocalyxin (PCX) and the adhesive modulator leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in the endometrium.
Ovarian endometrioma is a common form of endometriosis associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and diminished ovarian reserve. Although anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is widely used to evaluate ovarian reserve, it …
Precise staging of endometriosis remains a clinical challenge, as current diagnosis depends almost entirely on laparoscopic visualization-an invasive procedure marked by considerable inter-observer disagreement and diagnostic delays. Existing non-invasive approaches, …
To evaluate the incidence of tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) in patients with ovarian endometrioma (OE) undergoing infertility treatment and to describe treatment approaches and clinical outcomes, including transvaginal ultrasound-guided drainage.
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare (prevalence ~ 1:2 million), devastating genetic disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification. Crucially, surgical trauma is a potent trigger for catastrophic new bone …
Background: Ovarian cystectomy is standard treatment for endometrioma but is associated with decreased ovarian reserve. Catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) is an ovary-sparing image-guided alternative; however, supporting evidence comprises retrospective comparative and …
Atypical endometriosis (AE) is a histologically distinct entity considered a potential precursor to Endometriosis-Associated Ovarian Cancer (EAOC). Preoperative diagnosis is challenging as imaging often fails to distinguish AE from benign …
Endometriosis can impair natural reproduction through multiple mechanisms, including distortion of pelvic anatomy and chronic peritoneal inflammation. On this basis, surgical treatment might be reasonably expected to benefit. However, clinical …
Background/Objectives: The treatment options for endometriosis vary depending on individual needs and clinical circumstances. To preserve ovarian reserve, ethanol catheter-directed sclerotherapy may be considered as a treatment option. We compared …
