Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometrioma, is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), especially the clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, the absolute lifetime risk of OC in …
To describe the longitudinal ultrasound features and clinical course of ovarian endometriomas in postmenopausal women, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide follow-up strategies.
This study aims to introduce an effective protocol for transvaginal ethanol sclerotherapy, focussing on the aspiration of viscous cystic content and the amount of ethanol instilled in the cystic cavity …
To decrease the existing diagnostic delay of pelvic endometriosis, the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound (SRU) has proposed consensus criteria using augmented pelvic ultrasound (APU) technique and reporting guidelines based …
To investigate whether ovarian endometrioma is associated with disruption of the endocrine-regulated transition between the anti-adhesive modulator podocalyxin (PCX) and the adhesive modulator leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in the endometrium.
Ovarian endometrioma is a common form of endometriosis associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and diminished ovarian reserve. Although anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is widely used to evaluate ovarian reserve, it …
Precise staging of endometriosis remains a clinical challenge, as current diagnosis depends almost entirely on laparoscopic visualization-an invasive procedure marked by considerable inter-observer disagreement and diagnostic delays. Existing non-invasive approaches, …
To evaluate the incidence of tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) in patients with ovarian endometrioma (OE) undergoing infertility treatment and to describe treatment approaches and clinical outcomes, including transvaginal ultrasound-guided drainage.
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 …
Background: Ovarian cystectomy is standard treatment for endometrioma but is associated with decreased ovarian reserve. Catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) is an ovary-sparing image-guided alternative; however, supporting evidence comprises retrospective comparative and …
