A mural solid component (SC) within an endometrioma (ovarian endometriotic cyst), demonstrating internal vascularity or increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET), is considered a characteristic finding suggestive …
This study aims to evaluate the impact of endometriotic cysts and prior ovarian endometriotic cystectomy on ovarian reserve function in women with endometriosis undergoing assisted reproductive technology.
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) …
A woman in her seventies presented with mucous hematochezia. Colonoscopy revealed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in the upper rectum. Immunohistochemical staining showed CK7 positivity and CK20/CDX2 negativity, findings atypical for …

Endometriosis is traditionally conceptualized as a pelvic lesion-centered disease; however, mounting evidence indicates it is a chronic, systemic, and multifactorial inflammatory disorder. This review examines the molecular dialog between ectopic …
Chronic low-grade inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to female infertility. Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 are observed in ovarian conditions including …
Endometrial hepatoid adenocarcinoma (HAC) is an exceedingly rare tumor. Histologically, the tumor is predominantly characterized by HAC with additional components, as documented in previous reports. The coexistence of endometrial HAC …
Knowledge pertaining to the interplay between body image, body compassion, and endometriosis-related symptoms is limited. The current study aimed to elucidate the relationships between body compassion, body image, and endometriosis-related …
