description OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of octreotide therapy on endometriotic lesions in a patient with coexisting endometriosis and acromegaly. INTERVENTION: PATIENT: A 34-year-old female was diagnosed with acromegaly and coexisting endometriosis. Post-surgical resection of the tumor, patient was initiated on octreotide therapy. RESULTS: There was improvement in menstrual bleeding as IGF1 levels decreased with Octreotide therapy. Resolution of the endometriotic lesions was observed during follow up. CONCLUSION: In this unusual case, the treatment of acromegaly concurred with regression in the endometriotic lesions. Causal or incidental association cannot be inferred from the present case.
