  • Title: Massive ascites secondary to severe endometriosis.
    Author: Fletcher H, McFarlane M, Shirley SE, Clarke WF, Lyon K.
    Journal: West Indian Med J; 1999 Sep; 48(3):158-9. PubMed ID: 10555466.
    Abstract:
    Massive ascites is an unusual association with endometriosis. This case report is of such a condition in an Afro-Jamaican woman. The diagnosis was made at laparotomy and conservative treatment was adopted allowing for retention of reproductive function. Postoperative therapy was Goserelin, a Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) agonist, for six months. This relieved all of her symptoms. However, long term follow-up is needed, as recurrence is possible.
