Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in the evaluation of suspected gynecologic malignancies, providing high soft tissue contrast and multiparametric capabilities, including diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast …
Umbilical endometriosis is a rare extrapelvic manifestation of endometriosis, presenting diagnostic and surgical challenges. We report a case of a 43-year-old woman with a history of two cesarean sections who …
Endometriosis is frequently managed with hormonal suppression that can induce hypoestrogenism during a period when many patients are still accruing peak bone mass. This narrative review summarizes current clinical and …
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is associated with chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, oestrogen-dependent growth, oxidative stress, altered steroid hormone metabolism, compromised epithelial barrier integrity, and the production of bioactive microbial metabolites. …
Haemorrhagic ascites (HA) is an uncommon clinical entity commonly caused by cirrhosis, malignancy and iatrogenic intervention. In the absence of these causes, it poses a diagnostic challenge. We present a …
Intestinal endometriosis is a benign gynecological condition that frequently involves the rectosigmoid colon. Its synchronous occurrence with colorectal cancer is exceptionally rare and diagnostically challenging, particularly when mimicking a second …
Background/Objectives: Primary renal endometriosis with extrapelvic locations of endometriosis lesions is deemed extremely rare. Therefore, the aim of this review was to assess the current literature on renal endometriosis, encompassing …
Oocyte quality is the primary determinant of success in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), and mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a central mediator of poor oocyte competence across advanced maternal …
Ovarian endometriomas are commonly assessed according to cyst size and laterality, anatomical features that have long been regarded as indicators of disease severity and potential ovarian compromise. Consequently, these characteristics …
Decidualized ovarian endometriomas are benign lesions that can closely mimic ovarian malignancy on ultrasound. Correctly identifying them is crucial to avoid unnecessary interventions and associated adverse fetal-maternal outcomes. A systematic …
