A case report of endometriosis encircling the right external iliac vein, causing catamenial edema of the right leg and thigh, is presented. Successful surgical treatment is described. A literature review of extraperitoneal endometriosis will further the reader's awareness of unusual presentations of
Intestinal involvement by endometriotic tissue occurs in up to 37% of patients with endometriosis. The vast majority of patients do not experience symptoms related to the gastrointestinal tract. In particular, the complications of intestinal obstruction and malabsorption secondary to endometriosis
We report the case of a patient with pelvic endometriosis and recurrent spontaneous pneumothoraces who had thoracotomy and diagnostic laparoscopy, with subsequent acute pulmonary edema. Potential causes are discussed. After a thorough literature search, we believe this to be the first case in which
Vulvar edema as a complication of laparoscopy is a rare condition. A 23-year-old woman was admitted with progressive dysmenorrhea and underwent laparoscopic bilateral endometrioma cystectomy. Twenty-seven hours after surgery, unilateral vulvar edema was observed. It resolved with the application of
Endometriosis that involves nerves is rare and usually occurs in the pelvis. We describe a case of extra-pelvic endometriosis that involved the superior gluteal nerve. The patient presented with ill-defined buttock and thigh pain and a Trendelenberg gait. MRI demonstrated atrophic changes in the
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this preliminary study was to report the short-term local control of percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of localized symptomatic abdominal scar endometrioma.
METHODS
Four consecutive patients (mean age 34.5 years) with a total of ten lesions were included, with mean
Eighty-six patients with histologically verified internal endometriosis were examined using histochemical, morphometric methods, and measurements of blood and myometrial tissue phosphatidyl inosites. Blood levels of phosphatidyl inosites were found reliably decreased in the patients vs. normal
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate magnetic resonance (MR) imaging morphologic- and signal intensity abnormalities of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the bowel wall and to assess its value in predicting depth and extent of bowel wall infiltration.
METHODS
This single-center study was performed in a
OBJECTIVE
Endometriosis is defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus. The disease causes pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia and urinary symptoms. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and elastosonography
Although gynecologic laparoscopic surgery has recently become a routine and widespread operative procedure in Taiwan, the potential risks and complications in the clinical practice of laparoscopy should not be overlooked. Whilst the incidence of complications are rare, they can sometimes be serious,
Acute abdominal pain is a frequent diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in hematologic patients. We report on the very rare case of organ endometriosis with acute abdominal symptoms in a 43-year-old female patient with AML-M5, starting 4 days after induction chemotherapy with idarubicin, ara-C, and
Bowel endometriosis affects between 3.8% and 37% of women with endometriosis. The evaluation of symptoms and clinical examination are inadequate for an accurate diagnosis of intestinal endometriosis. We describe the case of a 41-year-old woman who presented to our hospital because of six months of
Venous occlusion is sometimes caused by external compression due to adjacent masses. Endometriosis, the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, is a rare cause of venous occlusion. We report a case of chronic common femoral vein occlusion due to endometrioma causing
BACKGROUND
Steroid sulfatase (STS) is involved in estrogen biosynthesis and expressed in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of disease-free and endometriosis patients. The present study was designed to investigate its role in endometriosis development.
METHODS
Human endometrial explants were cultured
A prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was designed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and tolerance of danazol and high-dose medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in the treatment of mild-moderate endometriosis. After laparoscopical confirmation of endometriosis, 59 patients were
