Umbilical Cutaneous Endometriosis: A Diagnostic Challenge.

Endometriosis in adolescents: A state-of-the-art review.

Endometriosis, once considered rare in adolescents, is now recognized as a common cause of chronic pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea in individuals aged 10-21. This state-of-the-art review explores the evolution of …

Thoracic endometriosis syndrome posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in a low-resource setting: a case report.

Thoracic endometriosis syndrome is an uncommon condition defined by the existence of functional endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity, specifically in the pleura, lung parenchyma, or airways. We present …

Umbilical Endometriosis Presenting as Cyclical Umbilical Bleeding: A Case Report.

Endometriosis is a benign, estrogen-dependent condition affecting 6%-10% of women of reproductive age, typically involving pelvic organs but occasionally presenting in extrapelvic locations such as the umbilicus. We report a …

Anything but Endo: Diagnostic Buck-Passing in Endometriosis Diagnosis.

People living with endometriosis, a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows elsewhere in the body, often experience prolonged diagnostic journeys because of symptom variability, …

Noninvasive Imaging Diagnostics for Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological condition affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and up to 50% of those with infertility. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like …

Mucin Biology as a Local Diagnostic and Promising Therapeutic Target in Endometriosis: Expression and Glycosylation Profiling.

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, yet its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the expression of …

Cholesterol granuloma forming the solid components within an endometrioma showing intense FDG uptake, mimicking malignancy: A case report.

A mural solid component (SC) within an endometrioma (ovarian endometriotic cyst), demonstrating internal vascularity or increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET), is considered a characteristic finding suggestive …

Endometriosis as a Systemic and Complex Disease: Toward Phenotype-Based Classification and Personalized Therapy.

Endometriosis is traditionally conceptualized as a pelvic lesion-centered disease; however, mounting evidence indicates it is a chronic, systemic, and multifactorial inflammatory disorder. This review examines the molecular dialog between ectopic …

The biology and clinical aspects of female infertility.

Female infertility is a multifactorial condition with complex biological and clinical underpinnings. Biologically, female-related infertility may stem from disruptions in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, impaired folliculogenesis, oocyte maturation defects, uterine …
