We report two cases of endometriosis of the round ligament in a 37 and 26 - years old women, with a lump in their right groin and catamenial pain referred to plastic surgery department. MRI showed in both cases nodular lesion in the right inguinal region. The patological examination of the surgical specimen revealed endometriosis of the round ligament. The presence of a groin mass with pain increasing during the menstrual period must raise the suspicion of inguinal endometriosis and a gynecological evaluation is essential to provide a correct management of this rare condition.

Article Synopsis
- Adenomyosis (AM) is a reproductive health condition where endometrial tissue grows into the uterine muscle, but its causes and development are not fully understood.
- A new type of cell, called pale cells, has been discovered; these cells lack certain connections and are seen moving through tiny breaks in the tissue, suggesting they may have unique properties.
- The research analyzed 40 hysterectomy samples to check for specific stem cell markers, finding that pale cells often expressed a stem cell marker called SSEA-1, hinting that these cells could play a role in the development of adenomyosis, and more research is needed to explore this further.

Article Synopsis
- A panel of international experts evaluated and discussed the POSEIDON criteria, aiming to improve management strategies for women with low prognosis in assisted reproductive technology (ART).
- Through a Delphi consensus process involving multiple rounds of voting, 53 experts reviewed 17 statements and reached consensus on their relevance for patient care and outcomes in ART.
- Key recommendations include using specific treatments and tools to enhance success rates, while emphasizing the need for more large-scale studies to validate existing findings.
Background: The treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis requires a complex, multidisciplinary approach. Some centres have established multidisciplinary teams (MDT) and regular meetings. There are currently no international data or recommendations.
