Female reproductive disorders (FRDs), including polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, uterine leiomyomata, and infertility, have been epidemiologically associated with impaired pulmonary function. However, it remains unclear whether this cross-organ link reflects …
Hepatic endometriosis is rare, and transdiaphragmatic extension into the lung has not previously been described.
Cardiothoracic involvement by obstetric and gynecologic pathologic conditions creates a broad spectrum of clinical and radiologic manifestations, ranging from mild to critical. The authors describe the unique and often unrecognized …
The mechanism by which catamenial pneumothorax develops remains unclear. Although diaphragmatic lesions are characteristic findings, the actual pulmonary sources of air leakage have not been well documented. Therefore, this study …
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary disorder characterized by impaired surfactant clearance due to alveolar macrophage dysfunction. Leuprorelin acetate, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, is widely used in the …
Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare condition characterized by histologically benign smooth muscle tumours arising at extrauterine sites, most commonly the lungs, in women with a history of uterine …
Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition, but extra-pelvic manifestations are rare and often pose significant diagnostic challenges. Thoracic and abdominal endometriosis may present with nonspecific respiratory and abdominal symptoms that …
Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare form of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax occurring in women in temporal association with the menstrual cycle, most commonly within 72 h before or after the onset …
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 …
Pulmonary endometriosis (PE) is an unusual cause of catamenial hemoptysis, with only a small proportion of endometriosis cases involving the thorax. Standard management often involves surgical resection combined with hormonal …
