These findings do not suggest increased risk of subsequent cancers in patients with BOT. However, population-based studies are needed for evaluating exact risk of developing second primary malignancies in women with BOTs.

In the frozen section evaluation of BOTs, the underdiagnosis that restricts the diagnostic performance of the method seems to be a major problem. A more careful approach is therefore needed, while choosing a proper surgical technique during laparotomy for ovarian masses. In order to reduce the false diagnosis and surgical morbidity, the frozen section analysis should be applied by experienced pathologists and the possible predictive factors affecting a false diagnosis should carefully be taken into consideration.

This is an extremely rare condition in which careful assessment is required to prevent complications during delivery.

An isolated IEF is not associated with abnormal cardiac function. We suggest that the presence of an isolated IEF should not be an indication for fetal cardiac function examination either with conventional Doppler or TD imaging techniques, unless there is a coexisting cardiac or extracardiac anomaly.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of shear wave elastography (SWE) for preeclampsia (PE) in first-trimester pregnancies.METHODS: Singleton pregnant women aged 18-45 years, who underwent routine first-trimester prenatal examinations (11-13 weeks+6 days) were enrolled. Pregnancies with anterior placenta and normal first-trimester screening test results were included in the study group.The SWE measurements of six areas of the placenta were performed, and the mean value was estimated. The perinatal outcomes and the demographic data were also collected. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used for the accuracy of predicting PE. RESULTS:This study consisted of 84 patients, of which 9 were diagnosed with PE during the follow-up. The mean SWE value of the PE patients was higher than that of patients with normal pregnancies (p=0.002). The analysis showed that the optimal cutoff value was 7.43 kPa to predict PE in the placentas of first-trimester pregnancies, with 88% sensitivity and 78% specificity. CONCLUSIONS:The SWE values of the placenta in the first trimester were different between normal patients and those who are subsequently developing PE. SWE may be a suitable tool for predicting PE in pregnant women.

Endometriosisis a very common gynecological condition causing infertility and pelvic pain affecting 6%-10% of women at their reproductive ages. The prevalence is 20%-50% and 20%-70%
