The authors describe a case of a congenital Mullerian anomaly, uterus unicornis with missing right fallopian tube. An in Vitro Fertilization Pre-Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET) procedure was done and presently is known that the patient has left fallopian tube and left ovary, two kidneys, and right ovary is missing. No diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy were done, only hysterosalpingography (HSG) ...

In the past, polycystic ovary syndrome has been looked at primarily as an endocrine disorder. Studies now show that polycystic ovary syndrome is a metabolic, hormonal, and psychosocial disorder that impacts a patient's quality of life. It is extremely important to holistically treat these patients early on to help them deal with the emotional stress that is often overlooked with polycystic ovar...

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of mortality among gynecological cancers. The aim of the study was to form the decision rules for distinguishing benign from malignant ovary lesions. The research was conducted on 201 women with ovary tumor. Commonly used specific markers for ovarian cancer (biochemical marker Ca 125, ultrasound and vascular markers) were used. The significant difference in t...

Reproductive age, ovarian reserve and reproductive capability may be determined from the volume of the ovary. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was done in the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, from January to December 2009, to see the variation in the volume of the ovary with age in Bangladeshi women. The study was performed on 140 post mortem human ovaries collected from...

We report a very rare case of ovarian torsion following controlled ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization in which no oocytes were obtained at the time of ovum retrieval from the left torsed ovary. The patient was a 33-year-old nulligravida female undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation. On day 14, the patient complained of lower left abdominal pain with nausea. Transvaginal oocyte re...

Primary ovarian carcinoid tumors of the ovary are rare and represent less than 0.1% of ovarian malignancy. One of its subtypes is the strumal carcinoid in which the thyroid tissue is seen in intimate association with carcinoid tumor. We here report a 47-year-old woman with strumal carcinoid of the right ovary presented with cessation of menstrual periods in the past 3 months and was referred du...

Cytophotometry of individual nuclei was used to examine the level of endoreduplication in epidermal cells from the upper and lower parts of the ovary during Ornithogalum umbellatum flower and fruit development. An increase in DNA content from 2-4C to 2-8C in both parts of the ovary was observed, while the epidermal cell surface area grew about 6-fold and 15-fold in the lower and upper parts of ...

Embryonic quail ovaries were examined with a scanning electron microscope. The same as in many bird species, the quail ovary degenerated on the right side, and normal development occurred only on the left side. The surface of the developing left ovary had a rough appearance. The epithelial cell surface was extremely swollen with many globular protrusions, and the cell borders were lined by ridg...

A 13-year-old, obese girl presented with acute abdominal pain with abdominal distension for a year. The physical examination revealed marked abdominal distension with a large well-circumscribed mass sized 13×20 cm. Her body mass index (BMI) was 37.8 kg/m2. An abdominal CT scan revealed a huge multiloculated cystic mass and a left adnexal mass. She had an abnormal fasting plasma glucose and low ...

The effect of methyl farnesoate (MF) on the ovaries of female red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, undergoing vitellogenesis was determined both in vivo and in vitro. The in vivo assay showed a positive effect of MF on oocyte growth when injected alone and in combination with 17 beta-estradiol, but not in combination with JHIII or 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone. A higher level of incorporatio...
