Ultrasound guidance during hysteroscopic myomectomy in G1 and G2 Submucous Myomas: for a safer one step surgery.

Objective: Hysteroscopic myomectomy is the gold standard method for treatment of submucous fibroids. Hysteroscopic myomectomy techniques for removal of submucous fibroids still have controversies. In this study we aimed to describe usefulness of ultrasound guidance in hysteroscopic myomectomy for a safe and effective removal of submucous G1 and G2 fibroids.

Study on potential role of apolipoprotein E in recurrent pregnancy loss.

The role of apolipoprotein E (Apo E) gene polymorphisms in the etiology of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is not clearly understood. We evaluated this polymorphism in unexplained pregnancy losses in a group of Turkish women. In our prospective case-control study, 45 well-characterized RPL cases were examined for their Apo E genotypes, based on restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified fragments.

Are the site, diameter, and number of endometrial polyps related with symptomatology?

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the relationship among polyp site, number, diameter, and symptomatology in endometrial polyps in reproductive and postmenopausal women.

Study Design: One hundred fifty-five subjects with endometrial polyps were evaluated retrospectively. Sociodemographic characteristics, endometrial thickness, polyp number, diameter, and site were reviewed, and their relations with abnormal uterine bleeding were tested.

Metastasis from breast carcinoma to a tamoxifen-related endometrial polyp.

Background: Metastasis of extragenital neoplasms to an endometrial polyp is rare and until now, only 6 cases of such involvement has been described.

Case: A 58-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed 4 years ago with infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma and treated with surgery and tamoxifen therapy, was admitted to the gynecology clinic because of endometrial thickening observed during a routine abdominal ultrasonographic examination. A total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed.
