Abstract

One case of extensive endometriosis with ascites in a young nulliparous woman is reported. The patient had been maintained on suppressive therapy with danazol for over two years, demonstrating the feasibility of conservative management in this extremely rare form of endometriosis. However, long-term efficacy and potential for fertility remain to be determined.
