Endometriosis, affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age, is more commonly found on the left side of the pelvis. This laterality phenomenon's etiology remains obscure. We reviewed the existing literature …
A Diagnostic Dilemma in a Breast Cancer Patient on Tamoxifen: Perihepatic Endometriosis Masquerading as Metastatic Disease.
Breast cancer metastasis to the liver carries a poor prognosis, and the identification of hypermetabolic hepatic or perihepatic lesions on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in a patient …
Endometriosis as a Silent Emerging Malignant Threat in Young Women: A Case Report of Rare Rapid Transformation of Abdominal Wall Endometriosis Into Mixed High-Grade Serous and Clear Cell Carcinoma One Year Following Cesarean Section.
Abdominal wall endometriosis most commonly occurs in cesarean section (CS) scars. Although malignant transformation is rare, clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is the most commonly reported histological subtype. We present an …
TREM2 Deficiency Attenuates Endometriosis Progression by Inhibiting M2 Polarization of SpMs and Suppressing SIRPα to Enhance Phagocytosis.
Endometriosis (EMS) is characterised by a disrupted peritoneal immune microenvironment where M2 macrophage polarization and impaired phagocytosis promote lesion survival. Single-cell RNA-seq (ScRNAseq) of the peritoneal macrophages from EMS patient …
Author response to letter by Cunha-Filho & Guedes da Luz da Cunha on decreased anti-Müllerian hormone in women with superficial peritoneal endometriosis.
Letter regarding Griffiths et al. "Anti-Müllerian hormone decreased in women with superficial peritoneal endometriosis and associated with an elevated inflammatory profile".
A Mouse Model of Endometriosis Using Ex Vivo Cy5.5 Dye-Doped Silica Nanoparticle Labeling for Lesion Visualization.
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic inflammation, pelvic pain, and infertility. Reliable mouse models are essential …
Superficial Peritoneal Endometriosis Beyond Surgical Diagnosis: A Narrative Review of Emerging Functional and Molecular Perspectives.
Background and Objectives: Superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SPE) remains one of the most difficult endometriosis phenotypes to diagnose non-invasively, because lesions are frequently small, multifocal, and poorly detectable using conventional imaging. …
Alterations in Cellular Immunity in Patients With Endometriosis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Determining the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains a major challenge in contemporary gynecology, and the investigation of alterations in cellular immunity may provide important insights into this issue. A comprehensive search …
