Steroid receptors in endolymphatic stromal myosis.
Endolymphatic stromal myosis is a neoplasm derived from the endometrial stromal cell. As such it should respond to hormonal manipulation. Reported are positive estrogen and progesterone cytosol receptors in three cases of endolymphatic stromal myosis with disease regression following progestational therapy. Estrogen and progesterone receptor studies are recommended in all cases of endolymphatic stromal myosis. When positive, progestational therapy is appropriate.
