title: Relationship between endometrial Arias-Stella phenomenon and concentrations of urinary chorionic gonadotropin and serum human placental lactogen.
abstract: Serum placental lactogen (HPL) and urinary chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) were measured in 14 patients with the endometrial Arias-Stella phenomenon and in 35 comparable patients without this reaction in order to explore a possible causative relationship between the hormonal levels and the endometrial changes. The concentrations of HPL and HCG were similar in both groups of patients, indicating a lack of correlation between the levels of these two hormones and endometrial changes.
