INTRODUCTION: Cervical polyps (CPs) and endometrial polyps (EPs) are common gynecological conditions worldwide. Understanding the distribution of benign and malignant pathologies in women with these polyps is clinically significant. The coe…

INTRODUCTION: This study aims to investigate the co-existence of ovarian teratomas with other benign or malignant gynecological tumors in women who underwent gynecological surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all women who underwe…

Introduction We aim to report the histotypes and reassess the anatomic distribution of benign ovarian tumors in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Methods Medical and pathology reports of women with histologically confirmed benign ova…

Endometriosis is a common condition associated with debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. A genome-wide association study meta-analysis, including 60,674 cases and 701,926 controls of European and East Asian descent, identified 42 genom…

OBJECTIVE(S): Abdominal and perineal scar endometriosis usually develop in association with a prior surgical scar. The purpose of the study was to detect and review patients' characteristics of these women over a long period. STUDY DESIGN:…

Endometriosis is a pathological condition extensively studied, but its pathogenesis is not completely understood, since its pathophysiology stems from a broad spectrum of environmental influences and genetic factors. Moreover, the nature of…

Endometriosis is a pathological condition which has been extensively studied, since its pathophysiology stems from a broad spectrum of environmental influences and genetic factors. Familial studies aim at defining inheritance trends, while …

The purpose of the present study was two-fold: First to review the epidemiological aspects of the experience on the surgical outcomes via laparotomy or laparoscopy, as regards endometriosis from two different academic institutions and, seco…

The coexistence of endometrioma with dermoid cyst of the ovaries is an unusual entity, although they are both common and benign gynecological tumors. The present study aimed to investigate the association between ovarian dermoid cyst (terat…

Endometriosis is an enigmatic condition with an unknown etiology and a poorly understood pathogenesis. It is considered to appear from the interplay of many genetic and environmental factors, affecting up to 10% of women and represents a ma…

We retrospectively analyzed clinicopathological data in two different countries over the past years on the association between ovarian endometriosis and ovarian carcinoma. Medical and pathological reports were evaluated from 1,000 patients …

Endometriosis is an enigmatic condition with an unknown etiology and poorly understood pathogenesis and women with endometriosis represent a high-risk population group for a large category of chronic conditions. The study focused on a 67-ye…

The aim of the present review was to discuss a matter of concern in the clinical field of obstetrics/gynecology, namely the potency of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the management of endometriosis-associated infertility. Endometriosis is …

OBJECTIVE(S): The purpose of the study was to review patients' characteristics and the location of extrapelvic endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: Out of 1000 women with endometriosis during a 20year period, we found 200 cases with extra pelvic e…

The aim of this study was to investigate whether five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), associated with endometriosis, may confer new insight towards a genotype‑phenotype association with endometriosis. We studied a three-generation f…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecologic disorder, affecting up to 10% of women, characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue at ectopic positions generally within the peritoneum. It is a heritable condition influenced by mul…

Women with endometriosis frequently suffer from autoimmune inflammatory diseases, allergies and asthma. This study was conducted to examine whether the prevalence of allergies is higher in patients with endometriosis than in the control gro…

Despite the extensive research, endometriosis remains an enigmatic disease as up to now there is no consensus regarding the exact underlying mechanisms which could explain its development and progress. A local environment enriched in estrog…
