Abstract
We report the rave care of a patient with adenomyosis who showed thyroid dy sfunction of unknown etiology during treatment for endometriosis. She respo nded to nafarelin acetate and danazol when she was euthyroid but not to bus erelin acetate when she was hyperthyroid. This suggests that the response t o anti-endometriotic medicine in our patient was altered by impaired thyroi d function and that this could occur in other such patients.
