Despite improved outcomes in the past 30 years, less than half of all women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer live five years beyond their diagnosis. Although typically treated as a single disease, epithelial ovarian cancer includes several distinct histological subtypes, such as papillary serous and endometrioid carcinomas. To address whether the morphological differences seen in these ...

maternal leukemia inhibitory factor (lif) is required for successful implanta¬tion in mice, but little is known about its role and expression in human reproduc¬tion. here we report on the pattern of lif mrna expression in 30 samples of previously fertile and 11 infertile human endometrium, 10 samples of previously fertile post-menopausal endometrium and 10 uterine (fallopian) tubes from pre¬vio...

Unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn represents Müllerian duct anomaly. We describe three women aged 20, 18, and 23 years unicornuate associated non-communicating horn, who underwent successful laparoscopic surgery. Studies have reported high incidence of endometriosis this Therefore, prevention progressive resection are recommended as treatment. performed removal ipsilateral fallopian tu...

Abstract Background Hysterectomy remains one of the most common major gynaecological procedures, with total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) now established as technique choice over conventional open approaches. This approach depends on use a uterine manipulator to facilitate retraction and colpotomy. study describes novel in performing without or vaginal tubes reports intra- postoperative outco...

The Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome comprises the combined hypoplasia of the vagina and the uterus. In recent years, variable anomalies of the development of the Mullerian duct [as classified by the American Fertility Society (AFS)] have been operated on by the laparoscopic approach. We describe here a laparoscopic extirpation of an aplastic ectopic uterus in a patient found to h...

INTRODUCTION Cystadenofibromas of the Fallopian tube are very rare benign tumors of the female genital tract. These tumours are usually asymptomatic and are found incidentally. CASE REPORT We describe a Fallopian serous cystadenofibroma in a 50 year-old woman operated for uterine leiomyoma. The histopathologic finding revealed a cystic lesion connected to the salpinx. The cyst was composed of...

The sequential morphologic changes of rabbit duodenal mucosa-submucosa were studied from primodial stage to birth in 15 fetuses and during the early days of life in 21 rabbit newborns till maturity using light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Fetal rabbit duodenum develops from a simple tube of stratified epithelium to a tube containing villus and intervillus regions of simple co...

fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the uterus during female reproductive age. uterine artery embolization (uae) using embolic particles (pva, gelfoam) to occlude the uterine arteries, have been reported as a relatively safe, effective, and durable nonsurgical alternative to hysterectomy in diminishing fibroid-related symptoms. to block the arterial blood supply to the fibroid complet...
