Ovarian endometriosis (OvE) is ovarian cyst that is lined with endometrial tissue. They are found in 17-44% of women with endometriosis. Their clinical manifestations include pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. Although the incidence of OvE has increased yearly, the exact pathogenesis of OvE is still unclear. We used peptidomics, an emerging branch of proteomics, to identify differentially expressed peptides in order to determine the possible roles of these peptides in the pathogenesis of OvE.
