A 30-year old female who initially had typical endometriosis treated according to a standard regimen later developed numerous highly vascular endometrial polyps on the vagina, cervix, ureter, serosal surfaces of the uterus, pouch of Douglas (POD) and other areas of pelvic peritoneum as well as the endometrium 8 months after withdrawal of treatment with Zoladex gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist used for treatment of this disease. We postulate that these polyps developed as a rebound phenomenon upon withdrawal of Zoladex. We believe this is the first report of this complication following use of GnRH analogue.

Pulmonary lesions and ureter involvement are rare complications of endometriosis. We describe the first case with an involvement of both sites in this condition. The radiographs showed "pulmonary metastases" together with clinical findings of a hydronephrosis, mimicing a malignant metastatic gynecologic tumor of unknown primary. A laparoscopy showed severe endometriotic lesions; therefore the findings were most likely related to the condition of endometriosis. The patient was treated with gosereline acetate for six months (Zoladex). Control radiographs showed complete regression of the pulmonary lesions and the patient is symptom free at 36 months after diagnosis.
