Infertility evaluation and treatment among women in the United States

“…This could be due to language barriers, financial factors, limited access to medical care, and/or cultural and religious differences (19,36,37). Furthermore, Serou and Quintero (38) suggested that, compared to mainstream media, the Hispanic media were less likely to report stories of couples who used ART. Still, other researchers have suggested that the reduced success rates of infertility treatments among minority women are a more likely cause of lack of use (13,39).…”

A case of uterus-like mass of the ovary associated with endometriosis

“…About 30 cases of a uterus-like mass (ULM) arising in sites other than the uterus itself have been reported since Cozzutto's first observation in 1981 [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] . As the nomenclature implies, ULM presents with a well-differentiated endometrial cavity surrounded with smooth muscle bundles, showing a strikingly structural similarity with that of a normal uterus.…”

“…ULM might be considered a rare manifestation in the spectrum of endometriosis development. Of the 30 cases reported so far, 25 (83%) revealed variable manifestations of endometriosis such as concomitant ovarian endometriomas, accompanying peritoneal endometriotic implants with adhesion bands, a history of previous endometriosis surgery or endometrioid and clear cell ovarian carcinoma development ( Table 1 ) [1] , [2] , [3] , [5] , [6] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [12] . ULM cases without concomitant endometriosis typically appeared outside the pelvic cavity, therefore suggesting heterotopia or choriostoma formation as the underlying mechanism [4] , [7] , [11] .…”
