Cystic diseases in the female pelvis are common. Cysts of the female genital tract comprise a large number of physiologic and pathologic cysts. The majority of cystic pelvic masses originate in the ovary, and they can range from simple, functional cysts to malignant ovarian tumors. Non-ovarian cysts of female genital system are appeared at least as often as ovarian cysts. In this review, we aim...

The study aimed to predict an etiologic pathology leading to some disease spread in females. Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) in females is a condition that is difficult to diagnose; a specific diagnosis for the condition is often difficult, no diagnosis is made in 60% of patients. Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common and disabling condition affecting women of childbearing age; PCS is a recogn...

BACKGROUND While ovarian mature cystic teratomas are benign ovarian germ-cell tumors and the most common type of all ovarian tumors, the formation of fistulas into surrounding organs such as the bladder and the intestinal tract is extremely rare. This report documents a case of ovarian mature cystic teratoma with a rectal fistula, thought to be caused by local inflammation. CASE DESCRIPTION A...

Fertility data were collected every four weeks for 10 years from 40 herds of Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle. The data collected during 925 lactations from cows with cystic ovarian disease which were treated with 500 microg gonadorelin were compared with data from a control group of 13,869 normal lactations. The intervals between parturition and first insemination and between parturition and con...

varian cystadenofibromas are uncommon epithelial ovarian tumors in which fibrous stroma is the dominant component of the neoplasm, in addition to the epithelial lining of the cystic tumor. These tumors are classified, according to the epithe-lial cell types, into the serous, endometrioid, mucinous, clear cell and mixed categories. The degree of epithelial proliferation and its relation to the s...

Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is a frequent event, but thyroid papillary carcinoma and strumal carcinoid appear in mature cystic ovarian teratoma at the same time is extremely rare. The present case is the first patient of mature cystic ovarian teratoma with thyroid papillary carcinoma and strumal carcinoid reported from China in English. A review of the literature is performed, and the c...

Ovarian cystic tumors with a mural nodule are a rare entity. We report a case of a mural nodule of anaplastic spindle cell carcinoma in an ovarian mucinous cystic tumor of borderline malignancy. The patient was a 45-years-old Japanese woman who presented with an ovarian cyst. She suffered from mature cystic teratoma of both ovaries 9 years before the present history. Image analysis and laborato...

Ovarian cyst is common incidental finding in humans and many animals and includes follicular cysts, cystic rete ovarii and mesonephric duct cysts. Ovarian cyst is often associated with reproductive disorders in humans and animals. We found accidentally bilateral cystic masses in ovaries in an African green monkey. Grossly, the left and right ovarian cystic masses were single unilocular cystic s...

BACKGROUND The high mortality rate associated with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) reflects diagnosis commonly at an advanced stage, but improved early detection is hindered by uncertainty as to the histologic origin and early natural history of this malignancy. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we report combined molecular genetic and morphologic analyses of normal human ovarian tissues...
