Challenging prior assumptions: coexistence of polycystic ovarian morphology and endometriosis on transvaginal ultrasound.

To investigate, using transvaginal ultrasound imaging, the overlap between polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) and endometriosis, and to explore demographic and clinical factors associated with their coexistence across endometriosis phenotypes.

Bowel endometriosis: from pathogenesis to clinical management.

Bowel involvement is a severe manifestation of deep endometriosis that affects approximately 8-12% of women with endometriosis. Bowel endometriosis is most commonly localised in the rectosigmoid colon and frequently coexists …

Reply of the authors: 'Transvaginal ultrasound as a guiding tool in the management for deep endometriosis'.

Transvaginal Ultrasonography for Detection of PID-Related Adhesions: A Case Report.

Diagnosis of acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease continues to be a challenge despite advances in investigative procedures. Complications of PID include infertility, chronic pelvic pain and ectopic pregnancy. Currently, …

Initial Results of FAPI PET/MRI to Assess the Extent of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder often associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Conventional imaging modalities, such as transvaginal ultrasound and MRI, may underestimate the …

Artificial intelligence potential in ovarian endometriosis imaging: a comparative meta-analysis of transvaginal ultrasound-based AI models and human readers.

Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is widely used for diagnosing ovarian endometriosis but remains limited by significant operator dependency. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound-based artificial intelligence …

Correlations Between Ultrasound Features and Histological Findings in Adenomyosis: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Adenomyosis is a benign gynecologic condition characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma present within the myometrium. Background/Objectives: The gold standard in diagnosis is the histology of hysterectomy specimens. Due …

A nomogram integrating a novel uterine isthmus ratio (APTUIR), sonographic signs and clinical symptoms for predicting posterior deep endometriosis.

This study aims to propose a novel, reproducible transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) measurement-anterior-posterior wall thickness of the uterine isthmus ratio (APTUIR)-and to construct a nomogram model integrating this parameter with other …

Endometriosis and ovarian cancer: epidemiological evidence, molecular insights, and clinical decision-making.

Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometrioma, is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), especially the clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, the absolute lifetime risk of OC in …

What Happens to Endometriomas After Menopause? A Non-Invasive Follow-Up Focusing on Ultrasound Features and Clinical Changes.

To describe the longitudinal ultrasound features and clinical course of ovarian endometriomas in postmenopausal women, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide follow-up strategies.
