Abstract text "The ovarian endometriotic cyst” Ovarian endometriomas affect 17 to 44% of women with endometriosis, and are often associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Patients suffering from endometriosis frequently present an already reduced ovarian reserve, assessed by AMH dosage or by antral follicular count during TVS. Pain and infertility are the main indications for endometrioma surgery which is a complex procedure as endometriosis leads to inflammation around the lesions, causing fibrosis. Three main surgical procedures have been described: the ovarian cystectomy, the endometrioma ablation or the combined technique. During the cystectomy, after ovarian mobilization and adhesions lifting, an incision of the cortex is realized to find a cleavage plane between the cyst wall and the ovarian cortex. Traction and countertraction movements are performed to carefuly dissociate the cyst from the ovarian cortex. It is crucial to handle the ovarian tissue as atraumatically as possible. With this technique, the cyst wall as well as the surrounding fibrosis are excised with the risk of oocytes removal responsible for decreased ovarian reserve. The ablative surgery is defined by the fenestration and vaporization of the endometrioma cyst. The ablation is carried out using a laser or plasma energy or electrocoagulation. Once the endometrial cyst has been emptied of its contents, the entire internal surface of the endometrioma must be sprayed or evaporated using the different chosen techniques. Where feasible, the cyst may be turned inside out to facilitate further treatment. The combined technique associates partial cystectomy (80-90%) and ablation of the 10-20% remaining endometrioma. This method is especially useful while operating large endometriomas. It prevents excessive bleeding or damage to the ovarian tissue. In cases of large ovarian endometrioma, the three-step approach has been proposed, consisting on an opening and drainage of the cyst followed by a 3 months’ administration of Gn-RH agonists in order to reduce its diameter and vascularization. A second surgical procedure is then scheduled to ablate the remaining cyst wall. In conclusion, it is crucial to keep in mind that endometriosis and especially the presence of endometrioma reduce fertility whereas in the majority of cases, the ovarian reserve is already diminished in relation to the patient's age. Ovarian preservation must be one of our priorities in young patients of childbearing age and it is therefore really important to carry out surgeries that are as atraumatic as possible.

Abstract Background Dysregulation of immune response is associated with development of endometriosis. The study aim was to evaluate effect of combined oral contraceptive pills (COCs) consisting of ethinyl estradiol (EE) and desogestrel on the expression of macrophage, natural killer cells, and regulatory T cells of ovarian endometriotic cysts. Methods Endometriotic cyst wall tissues were collected from women with endometriosis who were treated (n = 22) with COCs (one table per day of EE 0.03 mg and desogestrel 0.15 mg administered for 28 to 35 days before surgery) or untreated (n = 22). The tissues were collected from endometriotic cyst wall during laparoscopic or laparotomy ovarian cystectomy. Immunohistochemistry for anti-CD68, anti-CD56, and anti-forkhead–winged helix transcription factor (FoxP3), a marker for macrophages, natural killer cells, and regulatory T cells, respectively, were investigated. Results The median (interquartile range [IQR]) number of anti-CD68 positive cells in the COC group was significantly lower than in the untreated group (12.7; 4.9–19.3) versus 45.7 (26.0–70.7), p < 0.001). Tissue infiltration of anti-CD56 positive cells in endometriotic cyst was significantly higher after the treatment when compared with tissue from untreated group (42.9, 27.4–68.9 versus 25.3 (14.1–37.3; p = 0.009). The number of regulatory T cells was also significantly increased in the COC group (6.3, 2.8–15.5) versus 0 (0–1.8; p < 0.001). Conclusions The effects of COC, containing EE 0.30 mg with desogestrel 0.15 mg, on the immune system was demonstrated by a significant decrease in the number of macrophages and an increase in natural killer and regulatory T cells.

Leiomyoma is a benign mesenchymal tumor that develops from smooth muscle cells. It can present in various histological variants. Leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei is an infrequent variant of uterine smooth muscle neoplasm. It is characterized by focally or diffusely distributed bizarre cells on the background of a typical leiomyoma. These bizarre cells are large, multinucleated, or multilobulated and have an eosinophilic cytoplasm. Even though leiomyomas with bizarre nuclei display benign clinical behavior, their differential diagnosis from leiomyosarcoma can sometimes be difficult. Leiomyoma has been described most commonly in the uterus. There is no case of leiomyoma originating from paratubal cysts described in the literature. In this article, we present a rare case of leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei originating from a paratubal cyst.
