Laparoscopic stripping versus endometrioma ethanol sclerotherapy in women with endometrioma awaiting IVF: a long-term analysis of ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare ovarian reserve, oocytes quality and pregnancy outcome of endometrioma treatment by laparoscopic stripping (LS) versus endometrioma ethanol sclerotherapy (EST) in infertile women awaiting in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed. Twenty-three women underwent EST and 26 women LS.

Mature Ovarian Teratoma: Neurological Implications in a Young Woman.

Anti-NMDAR encephalitis is an autoimmune syndrome associated with antibodies against NMDA receptors. In some cases, it is associated with various tumors; one of them is ovarian teratoma, which mostly affects women below the age of 30 years. Here, we report a case of ovarian teratoma associated with anti-NMDAR encephalitis treated with both laparoscopic surgery and immunotherapy.

Metastases to extraocular muscles from breast cancer: case report and up-to-date review of the literature.

Background: Unilateral or bilateral metastases to extraocular muscles are very rare in breast cancer.

Case Presentation: We describe a case of inferior rectus extraocular muscle involved by ductal luminal B/Her-2 neu negative breast cancer, observed in a cohort of 580 patients. Our patient had received chemotherapy and hormonal therapy (tamoxifen for 3 years and letrozole in the following 3 years) for her primary cancer and developed an orbital metastasis while she was under aromatase inhibitor-based therapy.
