Title: Endometriosis, ovarium (human, adult)
Description: Stain: (B, C) Hematoxylin-eosin.
(A): Macroscopy of chocolate cyst (1) of endometriosis on white-shining ovarium /fallopian tube complex. Chocolate cyst contains old haemolytic blood.
(B): Survey of section through ovarium/fallopian tube complex. Endometriotic glands (2). Part of ovarium (3) and persistent follicle (6) and ampulla (4) of fallopian tube.
(C): Glandular formation (2) with adhesion (5) on ovarium (3) with persistent follicle (6) and medullar blood vessels (V).
(D): Lining glandular epithelium (8) of endometriosis with endometrial stroma (7) on fibrotic surface (9) of ovarium (3). (By courtesy of G.P. Vooijs MD PhD, former Head of the Department of Pathology, Radboud university medical center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands).
Clinical background: The ovary is the most common site for endometriosis, spreading is assumed to be lymphatic, though superficial implants might be the result of retrograde menstruation. Often fronds of endometriosis arise from the wall whereas brown areas are more commonly hemosiderin-laden but may have an endometrial lining at the surface. Generally white areas are non-specific scar tissues. This is a reaction to the endometriosis and might even form capsule-like fibrosis.
Keywords/Mesh: female reproductive organs, endometriosis, chocolate cyst, uterus, ovary, oviduct, macroscopy, histology, POJA collection.
