Abstract
The administration of GnRH-a for decreasing the size of uterine leiomyomata is tolerated by most of our patients with a minimum of side effects and difficulty. An unusual case of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome developed after a single dose of depot LA that resulted in an emergent operation in this young woman. The treatment of large leiomyomata uteri with GnRH-a warrants careful clinical surveillance.
