Abstract

A patient with persistent ovarian cysts subsequent to clomiphene-induced severe hyperstimulation was found to have borderline ovarian carcinoma. Since several endocrine and epidemiological studies implicate hormonal factors in the genesis of ovarian tumors, a possible association between ovarian hyperstimulation and neoplasia is suggested.
