RESUMEN
Background: It has been shown that Carbohydrate antigen [CA] 125 and CA 19-9 tumor markers are useful for diagnosis and follow up of ovarian carcinoma
Case: In this case, we reported the high level of CA-125 and CA 19-9 with large right ovarian intact endometrioma and extensive involvement of omentum
Conclusion: Human Epididymis protein [HE4] and Risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm [ROMA] can be useful in differentiation between malignancies and benign pathologies with a good sensitivity and specificity value
RESUMEN
Ovarian fibromas are the most common benign solid ovarian tumors, which are often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Ovarian fibromas, especially in bilateral cases, may be cases of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome [GGS], a rare autosomal dominant disorder with predisposition to basal cell carcinomas [BCCs] and other various benign and malignant tumors. This case report describes a 25 year-old female with GGS, bilateral ovarian fibroma, endometriosis and septated uterus, which was referred to the Gynecology Clinic of Rasoul-e-Akram Hospital in October 2016. This patient had facial asymmetry due to recurrent odontogenic keratocysts. In young cases of ovarian fibromas as reported here, conservative surgical management can preserve ovarian function and fertility. These patients must be followed up by a multidisciplinary team and submitted to periodic tests
RESUMEN
From December 2000 until 2010, the researchers at Royan Institute conducted a wide range of investigations on ovarian tissue cryopreservation with the intent to provide fertility preservation to cancer patients that were considered to be candidates for these services. In 2010, Royan Institute established the Royan Human Ovarian Tissue Bank as a subgroup of the Embryology Department. Since its inception, approximately 180 patients between the ages of 747 years have undergone consultations. Ovarian samples were cryopreserved from 47 patients [age: 7-35 years] diagnosed with cervical adenocarcinoma [n=9]; breast carcinoma [n=7], Ewing's sarcoma [n=7], opposite side ovarian tumor [n=7], endometrial adenocarcinoma [n=4], malignant colon tumors [n=3], as well as Hodgkin's lymphoma, major thalassemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia [n=1-2 patients for each disease]. Additionally, two patients requested ovarian tissue transplantation after completion of their treatments
RESUMEN
Metabolic syndrome is a set of metabolic disorders highly related with cardiovascular diseases and has high expansion among population. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence and characteristics of the metabolic syndrome amongst women of reproductive age. A cross sectional study was conducted using a systematic randomized sampling method. Overall, 406 women of reproductive age living in Abhar city western Iran was recruited. Data was analyzed using T-test, Fisher exact test and chi-square. The prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome was 28.1%. This figure increased as the mean age and body mass index [BMI] of women increased. The common metabolic disorder was HDL < 50 [98.2%]. Majority of cases with metabolic syndrome were either overweight or obese [53.5%].The most expansion of metabolic syndrome was observed in the age range of between 45 to 49 years [70.6%]. There was a significance relationship between having metabolic syndrome and patients' level of education and profession [p<0.01]. Obesity and old reproductive age are the main risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome. Increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome in this part of the world is going to be a major public heath concern which indicates the necessity of applications for preventive programs based on national and international guidelines
