The appendix is involved in a diverse spectrum of inflammatory, infectious, benign, and malignant conditions that extend far beyond acute appendicitis. Although acute appendicitis remains the most common appendiceal emergency, …
Primary umbilical endometriosis (Villar's nodule) is a rare entity, representing 0.5%-1% of all endometriosis cases. We report a 37-year-old multiparous woman presenting with a 7-day history of umbilical pain, swelling, …
Perimenopause is a clinically distinct stage in which abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, and adnexal pathology may require surgical evaluation. Management is complex because symptom burden and structural disease …
Adenomyosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and tissue within the myometrium. The diagnosis and detection of adenomyosis on imaging have been hindered by a lack of …
To challenge the perception that endometriosis uniformly regresses after menopause by presenting the case of repeated, pathology-confirmed symptomatic recurrences spanning two decades after menopause, and to emphasize key considerations for …
Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation of endometrial-like tissue and accompanied by persistent pain and infertility. Beyond the pelvis, accumulating epidemiological evidence indicates that …
Ovarian endometrioma cystectomy may compromise ovarian reserve through inadvertent excision of ovarian cortex. We compared inadvertent cortical removal between robotic-assisted and conventional laparoscopic cystectomy using digital pathology. We retrospectively analyzed …
Endometriosis is a steroid-dependent gynecologic disease characterized by progesterone (P4) resistance, subfertility/infertility, and pelvic pain; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying impaired P4 responsiveness in endometriosis tissue are not fully understood. …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease sustained by aberrant angiogenesis and progressive fibrosis. We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of human dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DP-MSCs) in a surgically …
Endometriosis is defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Although it typically presents within the pelvis, extragenital manifestations are well documented with gastrointestinal (GI) …
