Abstract

Hypo-oestrogenic and anabolic/androgenic side-effects of danazol are well known by the gynaecologist and some of them are present in > 50% of patients being treated for endometriosis. Additionally, danazol produces hepatocellular damage in approximately 10% of women. The present report describes the first case of acute pancreatitis associated with danazol treatment of endometriosis.
