Ascites and pleural effusions associated with endometriosis

J Yu et al. Obstet Gynecol. 1991 Sep.

Abstract

We report a case of ascites and bilateral pleural effusions associated with an endometrioma in a 26-year-old woman of Chinese descent. She had a right salpingo-oophorectomy and partial omentectomy performed, and she received leuprolide acetate depot injections after the operation. We believe this is the first description of use of a GnRH agonist to treat this rare condition.
