Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the course of long-term conservative management of bladder endometriosis (BE).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 17 cases of BE conservatively managed without surgery in our facility. The following factors were analyzed: age, medical history, lesion size, symptoms, hormonal treatment, and follow-up outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate the phosphorylation of estrogen receptor α at serine-118 (phospho-ERα S118) in the endometrium, ovarian endometrioma, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).
Design: Experimental study.
Setting: University-affiliated hospital and academic research laboratory.

Uterine inversion is a rare puerperal event in the third stage of labor. Nonpuerperal uterine inversion is even rarer and is mainly caused by uterine fibroids, uterine sarcoma, or endometrial cancer. This is the first report of uterine inversion caused by cervical cancer.

However, CD10 is not specific only to the endometrial stroma but is also expressed in many other cells. Recently, interferon-inducible transmembrane protein 1 (IFITM1) was reported as a highly specific immunohistochemical marker of normal endometrial stroma and endometrial stromal neoplasm.

For better accuracy of diagnosis, the development of a sensitive and specific epithelial marker is beneficial. Previous studies showed that PAX8 is a highly sensitive and specific marker for primary and metastatic Mullerian epithelial tumors.
