This case report describes the first Italian live birth obtained by cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation in a woman affected by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Before anticancer treatments, several fertility preservation options were proposed. At 29 years the patient underwent laparoscopy for ovarian tissue cryopreservation. After treatments she experienced premature ovarian failure (POF) and asked for cryopreserved ovarian tissue transplantation. Before transplantation, ovarian samples were analyzed to assess neoplastic contamination and tissue quality. Two subsequent ovarian tissue transplantations were performed 4 and 7 years after cryopreservation. The follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone reduction, estradiol increase and first menstrual cycle appeared 2 months after the second transplantation. The woman conceived spontaneously 5 months after the second transplantation. After 39 weeks of uneventful gestation, a healthy male baby was born. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation, thawing and transplantation successfully restored ovarian function and fertility after tissue storage.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) remains a lethal gynecological malignancy with an alarming mortality rate, primarily attributed to delayed diagnosis and a lack of effective treatment modalities. Accumulated evidence highlights the pivotal role of reprogrammed lipid metabolism in fueling OC progression, however, the intricate underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully elucidated.
Methods: DLAT expression was assessed in OC tissues and cell lines by immunohistochemistry, western blot and qRT-PCR analysis.

Mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a rare and newly recognized subtype of ovarian and endometrial carcinomas, introduced in the 2020 World Health Organization Classification. This tumor likely originates from Müllerian-derived tissues and often mimics more common ovarian cancers, leading to frequent misdiagnosis. This case study details a 36-year-old woman who presented with urinary symptoms following a hysterectomy.

This study aimed to compare the effects of nandrolone decanoate on the morphology and physiology of ovarian tissues in two experimental models, Zebrafish and rats, after in vitro cultivation. A total of 136 animals were used ( rats, n=36, and Zebrafish, n=100). In both experiments, the animals were divided into two groups (Control and Deca) and were exposed to nandrolone decanoate for seven weeks.
