Figure 1 (A) Nerve fibers stained with PGP9.5 in ovarian endometrioma (magnification ×200). Several nerve fibers are in the stroma and near the gland. (B) Nerve fibers stained with SP in ovarian endometrioma (magnification ×200). (C) Nerve fibers stained with NPY in ovarian endometrioma (magnification ×200). (D) Nerve fibers stained with VIP in ovarian endometrioma (magnification ×200). (E) NGF expression in ovarian endometrioma (magnification ×100). Strong staining in the glandular epithelium and stroma. (F) BDNF expression in ovarian endometrioma (magnification ×100). Weak staining in the glandular epithelium and stroma.
