conclusions while amh receptor expression was higher in experimental rats, their serum concentrations of amh were decreased. further researches with greater sample sizes and measurement of bioactive forms of hormones are recommended to confirm the findings of this study. background anti-mullerian hormone (amh) levels reflect the number of small antral follicles in ovaries and expression changes...

Ultrasound (US) is the first-line imaging tool for assessment of the female pelvis, allowing increasingly high resolution images and excellent soft tissue contrast without need for sedation or radiation. Transabdominal US remains the standard technique; the transperineal approach may be useful in neonates (cloacal malformations, mullerian anomalies, ectopic urethral insertions) and transvaginal...

Mullerian tumors are extremely rare malignancies in the retroperitoneum. We report a case of a 46-year old woman who presented with an eight year history of lower abdominal mass. Ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a 15×10 cm cystic mass in the left lower retroperitoneum. As serial percutaneous needle aspiration cytology was negative for malignancy, she was observed f...

BACKGROUND Müllerian inhibiting substance, produced constitutively by the prepubertal testes, promotes involution of the müllerian ducts during normal male sexual differentiation. In children with virilization and nonpalpable gonads, only those with testicular tissue should have detectable serum concentrations of müllerian inhibiting substance. METHODS We measured serum mullerian inhibiting s...

Background: Mayer - Rokitansky - Kuster - Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is characterized by congenital aplasia of the uterus and the upper part of the vagina in women showing normal development of secondary sexual characteristics and a normal 46, XX karyotype. Congenital anomaly of the female genital tract, estimated to occur in approximately 1 in every 5,000 females. It is caused by a failure of deve...

INTRODUCTION Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome is a rare form of male pseudo-hermaphroditism characterized by the presence of Mullerian duct structures in an otherwise phenotypically, as well as genotypically, normal man; only a few cases have been reported in the worldwide literature. We report the case of a 30-year-old man with unilateral cryptorchidism on the right side and a left-sided obs...

Introduction: Ultrasound is a specific method of examination in early stages pregnancy, with specificity 97.6%1. It usually determines the location and viability pregnancy gestational age by 5 weeks pregnancy2. In addition to these other conditions like uterine anomalies, adnexal diseases, cervical length can all be diagnosed first trimester.3 First trimester ultrasound predict chorionicity, ty...

Background: Amenorrhea is defined as the absence of menarche in females reproductive age. Primary amenorrhea failure to reach by age 13 with no secondary sexual characteristics if has not occurred five years after initial breast development or patient 15 older. A transverse vaginal septum a rare congenital abnormality Mullerian duct that can cause primary amenorrhea. Transverse incidence ranges...

Mullerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS), a 140-kDa homodimer glycoprotein member of the TGF-beta superfamily of biological-response modifiers, causes regression of the Mullerian ducts in developing male embryos. MIS also can induce growth arrest and apoptosis in ovarian and cervical cancer cell lines. The embryonic progenitor of the ovarian and cervical epithelium is the coelomic epithelium, the s...
