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.
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 …
Intraoperative ureteral injury, although uncommon, can result in significant morbidity and medicolegal consequences, particularly during complex gynecologic procedures such as endometriosis excision and prolapse repair. Conventional ureteral identification techniques, including …
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- …
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging hybrid biomedical imaging modality that combines the high molecular contrast of optical excitation with the deep tissue penetration of ultrasound detection. This review presents …
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 …
Endometriosis affects 6%-10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and impaired quality of life. The endometriosis fertility index (EFI) predicts spontaneous pregnancy postoperatively, …
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, …
Mullerian anomalies are frequently associated with endometriosis, particularly in the presence of genital tract obstruction; however, the anatomical distribution and determinants of disease in this population remain incompletely characterized. Most …
