PURPOSE: To determine whether presence of endometriomas on routine pelvic ultrasound (US) can predict presence of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DE) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and correlate endometrioma size with the presence of …

Endometriosis, a chronic and multifocal inflammatory condition with a substantial estrogen-dependent component, is often linked to infertility. Some patients with endometriosis may require surgical intervention or assisted reproductive tech…

Endometriosis is a common condition primarily impacting women of childbearing age. Despite increasing awareness that endometriosis can be diagnosed non-invasively with the correct imaging techniques, there exists a significant delay in diag…

Endometriosis is a common condition impacting approximately 190 million individuals and up to 50% of women with infertility globally. The disease is characterized by endometrial-like tissue located outside of the uterine corpus, which cause…

Endometriosis is a prevalent and potentially debilitating condition that mostly affects individuals of reproductive age, and often has a substantial diagnostic delay. US is usually the first-line imaging modality used when patients report c…

Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) have important implications for the reproductive health of female patients. In patients with both infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, the incidence of MDAs is as high as 25%. Congenital uterine anomalie…

Endometriosis constitutes the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine endometrium, which is hormonally responsive and responds to pregnancy hormones as well. Decidualization is a physiologic process, where the …

Endometriosis affects 2%–10% of reproductive-aged women and is one of the leading causes of chronic pelvic pain. Given the extensive diagnostic challenges, multi-system nature of the disease, and significant impacts on quality of life, ther…

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the endometrial cavity. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become a mainstay for diagnosis and staging of this disease. In …

Uterine, ovarian, and placental pathologies are among the differential considerations for a pregnant woman presenting with abdominal and pelvic pain. Imaging plays a key role in the initial work-up of these patients. Sonography is often the…

Common benign gynaecological diseases, such as leiomyoma, adenomyosis, endometriosis, and mature teratoma, rarely undergo malignant transformation. Benign transformations that may mimic malignancy include benign metastasizing leiomyoma, mas…

OBJECTIVE: To present the ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging findings that may allow for a prospective diagnosis and expectant management of decidualized endometriomas because the rare occurrence of decidualization in the ectopic end…
