A 51-year-old presented for resection of a hepatic endometrioma diagnosed by tissue biopsy three years
prior. At that time, she had a significant response to leuprolide acetate: however, the mass
recurred approximately 2.5 years after discontinuing monthly injections. Repeat tissue biopsy was
again interpreted as endometriosis. This time, the patient had a poor response to leuprolide acetate.
A 10x12x1.5 cm mass was excised.

A 16 year-old girl presented with non-specific abdominal pain and a two week history of flu-like
symptoms. A CAT scan demonstrated a large left ovarian mass with solid and cystic components.
Exploratory laparotomy revealed a 25 cm ovarian tumor focally adherent to the omentum, but without
obvious rupture. Multiple small white nodules on the peritoneal surface of the right hemi-diaphragm
and cul de sac were also observed. A left salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and biopsies of the
right ovary and peritoneal nodules were performed.
