Growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) is a rare condition classically associated with platinum-based chemotherapy for malignant ovarian germ cell tumors. However, post-treatment findings following ovarian immature teratoma may represent a broader …
Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of mechanical properties in the ovarian microenvironment for ovarian function. However, the mechanisms that cause ovarian matrix stiffening during aging remain incompletely understood. …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a distinct histological subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer characterized by unique biological behavior and heterogeneous clinicopathological features. In contrast with other epithelial ovarian malignancies, …
Cancer treatments can deplete the ovarian follicle reserve, causing infertility and early menopause, with subsequent decline in cardiovascular, cognitive, and overall women's health. Medical measures to prevent this chemotherapy-induced ovarian …
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe form of endometriosis that rarely undergoes malignant transformation, and when it does, diagnosis is often difficult. Here, we report two cases of long-standing …
Ovarian carcinomas represent the second most common malignancy of the female genital tract; however, primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare subtype. Most of these tumors arise from malignant …
Ovarian carcinosarcoma typically comprises high-grade carcinoma and sarcoma components. We report a case of a woman in her 40s with endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinosarcoma exhibiting an unusual presentation of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is an endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer subtype. Somatic mutations in OCCC are reported in ARID1A, PIK3CA, and the TERT promoter (TERTp), as well as less commonly …
Endometriosis and endometrial cancer are distinct gynecological conditions that share overlapping biological mechanisms with implications for clinical management. Endometriosis is a chronic, benign disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation of …
Fertility preservation options, including cryopreservation of oocytes, embryos, and ovarian tissue, were initially focused on women undergoing gonadotoxic chemotherapy for oncologic treatment. The indications have expanded to include nonmalignant conditions …
