Article Abstract
Endometriosis affects 10%-15% of women of childbearing age, but the incidence can be as high as 90% in those with chronic pelvic pain. Endometriosis is categorized into ovarian endometriomas, superficial peritoneal implants, and deep infiltrating endometriosis. In this case report a 40-year-old woman gravida 1, para 1 with a history of hysterectomy in Mexico presented with chronic abdominal pain and severe hematuria. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an infiltrative pelvic mass involving the bladder concerning for a neoplasm that demonstrated subtle hyperintense components on T1-weighted images. The diagnosis of infiltrative endometriosis was established following cystoscopy and tissue sampling. This case highlights the importance of considering endometriosis in the differential for patients with pelvic masses, and recognizing potential features that could suggest the diagnosis.

Department of Laboratory Animal Science, Kunming Medical University, Kunming, China.
Objective: To explore B cell infiltration-related genes in endometriosis (EM) and investigate their potential as diagnostic biomarkers.
Methods: Gene expression data from the GSE51981 dataset, containing 77 endometriosis and 34 control samples, were analyzed to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The xCell algorithm was applied to estimate the infiltration levels of 64 immune and stromal cell types, focusing on B cells and naive B cells.

Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue growing outside of the uterus. One of its main symptoms is chronic pain and inflammation leading to a decreased quality of life. This is a common disease, as at least one in ten female-born individuals have endometriosis.

Background: Endometriosis and its association with adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes have recently drawn attention, pointing to increased risks of repeated caesarean sections, the occurrence of preterm births, and stillbirths.
Patients And Methods: This study included 25 pregnant women diagnosed with endometriosis and 25 pregnant women without endometriosis (control group). Maternal, fetal, and neonatal data were collected and compared between the endometriosis group and the control group concerning various maternal and neonatal parameters.

Purpose: To investigate and compare the clinical characteristics and risk factors between intrinsic and extrinsic adenomyosis (AM), as well as the differences in their perioperative management and findings in the two subtypes.
Methods: This observational study included women who were diagnosed with either intrinsic or extrinsic AM based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and who underwent a hysterectomy with a subsequent pathological examination. Demographic characteristics, clinical features, treatment outcomes and associated factors were evaluated.
