Abstract
Objective: To compare efficacy of various methods for characterizing endometriosis and benign ovarian tumors.
Design: Two parallel groups of patients, 54 with endometriotic ovarian cysts and 48 with benign tumors.
Setting: Central clinic.
Patients: Patients referred from all regions over a 5-year period.
Outcome measures: Estrogen Estrogen and progesterone receptor levels of endometrium and endometriotic foci, CA-125 concentration, and estradiol, progesterone, LH, and testosterone blood levels.
Results: LH levels elevated during follicular phase in patients; estradiol levels reduced; receptor levels abnormal in endometriosis, but not in benign ovarian cysts.
Conclusions: Hormone therapy is adequate treatment for endometriotic cysts. CA-125 is not a reliable indicator for differential diagnosis.
