This case report details a patient with pelvic endometriosis where a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist failed to suppress serum estradiol levels.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

We report a case in which gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist for a patient with pelvic endometriosis did not suppress the endometrial growth or serum levels of estradiol or follicle-stimulating hormone but did that of luteinizing hormone, regardless of the therapeutic dose in blood.
