Primary ovarian lymphoma is very rare. Ovarian involvement by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is usually secondary, occurring as part of a systemic disease. We report a case of primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the ovary manifesting as advanced ovarian cancer. The diagnosis was confirmed on histological and immunohistochemical analysis. The patient was treated with surgery followed by chemotherapy using rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone (R-CHOP) regimen.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in the tumor microenvironment are prognostically beneficial in many solid cancer types. Reports on TLS in high-grade serous tubo-ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) are few, and the prognostic impact is unclear. We investigated mature TLS (mTLS), immature TLS (iTLS) and lymphoid aggregates (LA) in primary adnexal tumors (PTs) and synchronous omental/peritoneal metastases (pMets) of HGSC.

Background: Estrogens, such as 17β-estradiol, are the primary female sex hormones predominantly synthesized by mature ovarian follicular cells. The natural exhaustion of ovarian follicular cells during menopause causes a rapid decline in endogenous estrogen levels. This decline in estrogen levels is associated with an increase in chronic, age-related pathologies, including inflammation in the brain.

Background: Sex hormones are frequently implicated in the development of cerebral small vessel disease among midlife women. However, few studies directly measure endogenous sex hormones and consider them in relation to white matter hyperintensities (WMH), indicators of cerebral small vessel disease. Further, existing work on hormones, menopause, and the brain typically focuses on ovarian estradiol (E2), with limited consideration of estrone (E1), the primary postmenopausal estrogen, or follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), an indicator of ovarian age.

Ovarian function declines significantly as females enter middle-age, but the mechanisms underlying this decline remain unclear. Here, we utilize whole-organ imaging to observe a notable decrease in ovarian blood vessel (oBV) density and angiogenesis intensity of middle-aged mice. This leads to a diminished blood supply to the ovaries, resulting in inadequate development and maturation of ovarian follicles.

is a major migratory invasive pest and is of global concern. Vitellogenesis, a crucial process for population multiplication in oviparous insects, is regulated by endocrine hormones. In this study, three primary responders to JH signaling, the JH receptor gene , and the downstream transcription factor and , were first cloned and identified.
