“…The aetiology of myelolipoma is unknown. One theory by D. C. Collins suggests that a myelolipoma represents a site of extramedullary haematopoiesis [27]. The most widely accepted theory, as cited by Meaglia and Schmidt in a 1992 study of the natural history of adrenal myelolipoma, is the existence of metaplasia of the reticuloendothelial cells of blood capillaries in the adrenal gland in response to stimuli such as necrosis, infection, stress or long-term ACTH stimulation [28].…”

Adrenal myelolipoma is inevitably a benign neoplasm of the adrenal gland. It is the second most common primary adrenal incidentaloma after adrenocortical adenomas. Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign and non-functional neoplasm, composed of mature adipose and hematopoietic tissue which closely resembles bone marrow. Most of these lesions are small, unilateral and asymptomatic, discovered incidentally at autopsy or on imaging studies performed for other reasons. We report a case of this rare tumour in a 46-year-old obese male who had presented with vague abdominal pain on the right side past 6 months without any other significant history. Ultrasound and subsequently CECT scan abdomen showed a large well-circumscribed mass arising from the right adrenal gland, measuring 11×10cm. Laparoscopic right adrenalectomy was performed.

“…Endometrioza jest przewlekłą chorobą ginekologiczną charakteryzującą się występowaniem błony śluzowej macicy poza jej typowym umiejscowieniem, naciekającej zarówno okoliczne tkanki jak i odległe narządy powodując ich dysfunkcje, jak również doprowadzając do powstania przewlekłego stanu zapalnego. Ektopowo występującą błonę śluzową cechuje podobieństwo zarówno anatomiczne jak i czynnościowe z tkanką zlokalizowaną prawidłowo [1]. Choroba ta stanowi 50% rozpoznań w przypadku kobiet z niepłodnością współistniejącą z przewlekłym zespołem bólowym miednicy mniejszej [2].…”

Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological disease characterized by the presence of the uterine mucosa that functions in accordance with the menstrual cycle outside of its usual location. This disease significantly reduces the quality of life of women facing numerous ailments, most often pain, and may lead to reduced fertility. The prevalence of endometriosis is difficult to determine due to the complexity and lengthy diagnosis. It is estimated that this disease occurs in 3-8% of women of reproductive age, and symptoms may also appear after menopause. It is worth noting that the relationship between the disease's severity and endometriosis symptoms is often not proportional. The aim of the paper is to present a case report of a 23-year-old female patient with endometriosis, to differentiate the disease from irritable bowel syndrome and to draw attention to the problematic and lengthy diagnostic process due to the multitude of symptoms from various organs. Material and method: Study of an individual case of a patient and a review of scientific articles available in Google Scholar and a review of publicly available textbooks in the field of medicine. The paper emphasizes the need to broaden the knowledge about endometriosis by specialists in many fields of medicine and points to the lack of quick, minimally invasive tests enabling efficient diagnosis of the disease. Increasing the awareness of doctors including other specializations than gynaecology, organizing campaigns to increase awareness of the disease among women, which may contribute to earlier diagnosis of patients, earlier application of an effective treatment, and improvement of patients' quality of life.

“…Another well-known theory is the implantation theory, the spread of endometriosis directly. The transfer of the endometrium outside the uterine cavity may occur during cesarean delivery, in the case of laparoscopic surgery, and after the perineal incision [ 3 , 35 , 36 , 37 ].…”

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent, inflammatory condition that is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Despite the progress in research into the mechanisms leading to the development of endometriosis, its cause has not yet been established. It seems to be possible that the formation of oxidative stress may be one of the main causes of the development of endometriosis. There is much research that studies the potential role of trace elements in the appearance of endometrial-like lesions. Most studies focus on assessing the content of selected trace elements in the blood, urine, or peritoneal fluid in women with endometriosis. Meanwhile, little is known about the content of these elements in endometrial-like implants, which may be helpful in developing the theory of endometriosis. Investigations that are more comprehensive are needed to confirm a hypothesis that some trace elements play a role in the pathomechanism of endometriosis.
