  • Title: Large bloody ascites in association with pelvic endometriosis: case report and literature review.
    Author: el-Newihi HM, Antaki JP, Rajan S, Reynolds TB.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1995 Apr; 90(4):632-4. PubMed ID: 7717323.
    Abstract:
    Endometriosis is only rarely the cause of massive bloody ascites. This entity simulates gynecological malignancy and is seldom recognized before surgical exploration of the abdomen. It is more commonly seen in black nulliparous females. Hormonal modulation has obviated the need for surgical resection, in some cases. We report a case of such an entity and review the medical literature.
