Abstract
Pelvic endometriosis associated with massive ascites is an unusual occurrence. Only 12 cases have been reported since 1954 when Brews first described this entity. The authors present two cases recently encountered at Saga Medical School Hospital. Clinical courses and operative findings are described and other cases from the literature are reviewed. The possible etiologic mechanisms of the ascites are explored and the possibility of conservative surgery and hormonal therapy with danazol is discussed.
