IDENTIFICATION OF DISPLACED ENDOMETRIAL GLANDS AND EMBRYONIC DUCT REMNANTS IN FEMALE FOETAL REPRODUCTIVE TRACT: POSSIBLE PATHOGENETIC ROLE IN ENDOMETRIOTIC AND PELVIC NEOPLASTIC PROCESSES

IDENTIFICATION OF DISPLACED ENDOMETRIAL GLANDS AND EMBRYONIC DUCT REMNANTS IN FEMALE FOETAL REPRODUCTIVE TRACT: POSSIBLE PATHOGENETIC ROLE IN ENDOMETRIOTIC AND PELVIC NEOPLASTIC PROCESSES

Background: Recent findings strongly promoted the hypothesis that common pelvic gynaecological diseases including endometriosis and ovarian neoplasia may develop de novo from ectopic endometrial-like glands and/or embryonic epithelial remnants. To verify the frequency, the anatomical localization an...
