Endometriosis is a benign yet debilitating condition, and its molecular complexity remains unexplored. Although clinically recognized, its genetic landscape has long been overlooked. This review analyses cancer-associated mutations (CAMs) identified …
Endometriosis is benign, but it is associated with an increased risk of clear-cell and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma. Several multivariable prediction models have been developed to identify malignant transformation or differentiate …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that, despite its benign histology, displays several cancer-relevant features, including clonal expansion, somatic alteration-associated lesion evolution, tissue invasion, apoptosis resistance, immune evasion, angiogenesis, …
Hepatic endometriosis is a rare extrapelvic manifestation that can mimic hepatic neoplasia and, exceptionally, cause hemoperitoneum. We report a 45-year-old nulligravid woman with longstanding deep endometriosis and anticoagulation for cavoiliac …
Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the evaluation of suspected gynecologic malignancies, providing high soft tissue contrast and multiparametric capabilities, including diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast …
Haemorrhagic ascites (HA) is an uncommon clinical entity commonly caused by cirrhosis, malignancy and iatrogenic intervention. In the absence of these causes, it poses a diagnostic challenge. We present a …
Intestinal endometriosis is a benign gynecological condition that frequently involves the rectosigmoid colon. Its synchronous occurrence with colorectal cancer is exceptionally rare and diagnostically challenging, particularly when mimicking a second …
Decidualized ovarian endometriomas are benign lesions that can closely mimic ovarian malignancy on ultrasound. Correctly identifying them is crucial to avoid unnecessary interventions and associated adverse fetal-maternal outcomes. A systematic …
Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) ranks as the 6th most common malignancy among women. Emerging evidence indicates that the dysregulation of tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) is involved in the pathogenesis of …
Breast cancer metastasis to the liver carries a poor prognosis, and the identification of hypermetabolic hepatic or perihepatic lesions on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in a patient …
