Endometrioid borderline tumors (EBTs) and seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBTs) are rare ovarian neoplasms with distinct histologic features. However, the molecular profiles of EBTs and SMBTs remain incompletely characterized. We performed …
Diaphragmatic endometriosis is a rare and often underrecognized manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis that may lead to severe complications such as diaphragmatic rupture or herniation. We report the case of a …
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare (prevalence ~ 1:2 million), devastating genetic disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification. Crucially, surgical trauma is a potent trigger for catastrophic new bone …
Intestinal endometriosis is a benign condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue within the bowel wall, often mimicking colorectal malignancy. Its coexistence with ulcerative colitis (UC) is rare and …
Neoplastic potential of endometriosis is well established, albeit rare, and endometriosis-associated neoplasms are frequently encountered in clinical practice.
Mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) and endometriosis are the most common benign diseases in women of reproductive age. Their coexistence was traditionally considered rare. However, recent evidence suggests otherwise. This study …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder affecting over 10% of women, but extrapelvic involvement - particularly within the inguinal canal and round ligament - is rare and often mimics common …
Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare form of spontaneous pneumothorax associated with thoracic endometriosis and is exceptionally uncommon in adolescents. We report a 14-year-old girl with early menarche and heavy …
The LYSET gene encodes the LYSET transmembrane protein, which regulates lysosome biogenesis by activating the mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) pathway. This is an autosomal recessive, ultrarare, and severe progressive skeletal dysplasia with …
Xanthogranulomatous oophoritis (XGO) is a rare chronic inflammatory con-dition that can mimic ovarian malignancy both clinically and radiologically. It is characterized by foamy histiocytes and inflammatory infiltrates, often leading to …
