Abstract

We report the first known case of right endometrial cyst and multiple uterine leiomyomata complicated by an ovarian granulosa cell tumour of adult type. A 42 year old woman had an adult type left granulosa cell tumour. Laparoscopy 13 years earlier had revealed a small endometrial implant on the peritoneum, without uterine leiomyomata or bilateral ovarian tumours. Findings in this case suggest that the aetiology of endometriosis and uterine leiomyomata are related to the presence of an oestrogen-secreting neoplasm and that the presence of a state of hyperoestrogenaemia due to granulosa cell tumour over several years might have stimulated the development of endometriosis and leiomyomata.
