abstracthydatid disease is a widespread parasitic infection caused by tapewormechinococcus and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs such as pelvic organscould be involved very rare. here we report a case of hydatid cyst with involvementof oviduct in a woman with endometrial cancer. it was misdiagnosed as a multicysticright ovarian mass before surgery and by microscopic study it was sho...

objective: the purpose of this pilot study was to determine whether the mri and biomarkers human epididymis protein 4 (he 4 ) and ca 125 correlate with depth of myometrial invasion, histologic grade, cervical involvement and nodal metastases in patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus. materials and methods: this was a prospective, observational study in women with biopsy-proven ...

endometrial adenocarcinoma is uncommon in fewer than 40-year-old people. the first common sign and symptoms are abnormal vaginal bleeding and discharge. metastasis is occurred in the late stage. here we present a 31-year-old nullipar woman who was admitted to surgical ward with enlarged right inguinal lymphnode from one month ago. she had no history of previous malignancy, infectious condition,...

background: there are some controversial data on application of progesterone and progesterone plus estrogen at luteal phase. objective: to investigate the effects of different luteal support hormones on the alkaline phosphates (alp) activity in the endometrial epithelium and endometrial thickness during superovulation process for obtaining the optimized endometrial receptivity in animal model. ...

In order to study changes occurring on the surfaces of human endometrial epithelial cells in the presence of an implanted blastocyst, we used scanning electron microscopy for investigation of five endometrial biopsies and three human implantation sites obtained in vitro. All specimens showed areas with endometrial pinopodes, separated by cells displaying microvilli or cilia at the apical surfac...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the sensitivity to rapamycin of endometrial cancer cells with different phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) expression to understand the mechanism of resistance to mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors in the treatment of endometrial cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty specific pathogen-free female BALB/c mice received transpla...

The present studies detail the cytopathological alterations in uterine epithelial, basal lamina, and stromal endometrial subregions, and associated endocrine parameters that occur during the progressive exacerbation of the diabetes syndrome in this species of mouse. These alterations result in a cellular lipoatrophic condition that compromises uterine tissue integrity and promotes reproductive ...

We propose a new deformable slice-to-volume registration method to register a 2D Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVUS) to a 3D Magnetic Resonance (MR) volume. Our main goal is to find a cross-section of the MR volume such that the endometrial implants and their depth of infiltration can be mapped from TVUS to MR. The proposed TVUS-MR registration method uses contour to surface correspondences through ...

This report describes a uterine tumour exhibiting areas of both endometrial stromal and smooth muscle diVerentiation. There was extensive intravasular permeation within the myometrium as well as extrauterine vascular involvement. The endometrial stromal component had a myxoid appearance and the smooth muscle component exhibited the typical features of intravenous leiomyomatosis. An additional f...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of transvaginal power Doppler sonography to discriminate between benign and malignant endometrial conditions in women presenting with postmenopausal bleeding and thickened endometrium at baseline sonography. METHODS Ninety-one postmenopausal women (median age, 58 years; range, 47-83 years) presenting with uterine bleeding and a thickened endometrium (> or = 5-mm...
