Preoperative Serum Anti-Mullerian Hormone Level in Women with Ovarian Endometrioma and Mature Cystic Teratoma

چکیده
PURPOSE To investigate whether preoperative serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels are lower in women with ovarian endometrioma and in women with mature cystic teratoma of the ovaries. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a tertiary university hospital, a retrospective case-control study was performed. Serum AMH levels between an advanced (stage III and IV) endometrioma group (n=102) and an age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched control group were compared. Serum AMH levels between an ovarian mature cystic teratoma group (n=48) and age- and BMI-matched controls were also compared. RESULTS Absolute serum AMH and multiples of the median for AMH (AMH-MoM) relevant to Korean standards were lower in the endometrioma group than controls, but this was not statistically significant (mean±SEM, 2.9±0.3 ng/mL vs. 3.3±0.3 ng/mL, p=0.28 and 1.3±0.1 vs. 1.6±0.1, p=0.29, respectively). Specifically, the stage IV endometriosis group (n=51) exhibited significantly lower serum AMH and AMH-MoM (2.1±0.3 vs. 3.1±0.4 ng/mL, p=0.02 and 1.1±0.1 vs. 1.7±0.2, p=0.03, respectively). Serum AMH and AMH-MoM levels were similar between stage III endometriosis and controls (3.7±0.5 vs. 3.4±0.5 ng/mL and 1.6±0.2 vs. 1.5±0.2, respectively), as well as between the mature cystic teratoma group and controls (4.0±0.5 ng/mL vs. 4.0±0.5 ng/mL and 1.6±0.2 vs. 1.6±0.3, respectively). Interestingly, AMH-MoM level was negatively correlated with endometriosis score with statistical significance (r²=0.13, p<0.01). CONCLUSION In women with advanced ovarian endometrioma, preoperative serum AMH values tended to be lower than those for age and BMI-matched controls. Notably, stage IV endometrioma appeared to be closely associated with decreased ovarian reserve, even before operation. Clinicians should keep this information in mind before undertaking surgery of ovarian endometrioma.

Background: Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) has been suggested as a marker of ovarian reserve and predictor of ovarian response to controlled ovarian hyper stimulation. The aim of this study is to determine the role of AMH in prediction of success ART cycles in patients with normal FSH serum levels. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study included 80 infertile women under 4o years, wh...

متن کاملChanges in serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels may predict damage to residual normal ovarian tissue after laparoscopic surgery for women with ovarian endometrioma.
We measured serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels before and after surgery in women undergoing unilateral and monolocular cystectomy for benign ovarian diseases. Comparing to control benign cysts, we found a significant decline in serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels with consequent depletion of follicles in tissue specimens after surgery for women with ovarian endometrioma.
