Background The conventional freezing and vitrification are different cryopreservation protocols for fertility preservation in cancer patients. The high effectiveness of vitrification for human oocytes and embryos is shown, whereas data on human ovarian tissue are limited. Follicular growth, ultrastructure, and apoptosis incidence in human ovarian tissue following vitrification/warming and after...

SUMMARY The widespread use of high-resolution, real time ultrasound has enabled physicians to identify a variety of fetal anatomy abnormalities. About 15-25% of fetal diseases can be diagnosed and even treated antenataly. This is a report of a case with fetal ovarian Cyst which has been confirmed with ultrasonography both antcnataly and postantaly, and caused intestinal obstruction in neonate...

background: chlamydia trachomatis (c. trachomatis) and mycoplasma genitalium (m. genitalium) are considered factors in cervical and ovarian cancer and are associated with flaky cell carcinoma of the cervix. the role of steady infection, leading to chronic inflammation, in the of ovarian cancer has received very little consideration, although a background of pelvic inflammatory disease (pid) is ...

perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (pecoma) is a rare mesenchymal tumor composed of immunohistochemically and histologically distinctive perivascular epithelioid cells. here, we report on the computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings of ovarian pecoma with pulmonary metastasis. the tumor was visible as a multilocular hemorrhagic mass that encased the ovarian vessel...

conclusions a majority of ovarian masses, especially those diagnosed within a short duration after hysterectomy, are benign. iranian patients with such ovarian masses when asymptomatic and associated with negative tumor markers could be followed up, and prophylactic oophorectomy may not be necessary. results of the 1052 patients with ovarian masses, 45patients (mean age, 53.11 ± 9.56 years) who...

ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer and about 70% of the patients are advanced stagein the time of diagnosis. decision about management (surgical debulking versus neoadjuant chemotherapy) in ovarian cancer patients is dependent on initial staging by abdominopelvic mdct or mri, so, radiologist expertise on ovarian cancer staging is very important. involvement of mesenteric roo...

background and objective: it is well known that menstrual period and ovarian function are affected by chemotherapy. although breast cancer is the most common cause of chemotherapy in women and ovarian hormones have very important direct and indirect effects on overall survival, disease-free survival, and life quality of patients, but few studies have addressed the frequency and related factors ...

background: although several studies have investigated the association between ovarian cancer risk and nonisoflavone flavonoids intake, these findings are inconsistent. this systematic review of published epidemiological studies was conducted to summarize and clarify the evidence on the association between ovarian cancer incidence and nonisoflavone flavonoids intake. materials and methods: pubm...

Background: Ovarian masses requiring surgical intervention are uncommon in the pediatric population. The aim of this study was to report results of a multicentric Tunisian study concerning the clinical practice and the management of pediatric ovarian masses and to identify the factors that are associated with ovarian preservation. Materials and Methods: Between January 2000 and December 2015...

Introduction: Involving approximately 4% of malignancies in women, ovarian cancer remains one of the most fatal cancers. However, it is important to consider conditions which are not primary ovarian diseases, but mimic their behaviors. In the present study, the epidemiological characteristics of extra-ovarian conditions mimicking ovarian masses are evaluated. Meth...
