title: [Treatment of endometrial hyperplasia with Goserelin depot, an LH-RH analog].
abstract: Nineteen patients with simple endometrial hyperplasia presenting metrorrhagia or menometrorrhagia were treated with 4 injections of Goserelin depot, one every 4 weeks. 12/19 patients were refractory after previous medical therapy. The treatment with Goserelin depot resulted in a complete remission of the symptoms, occurring within the first month of treatment and still present after a median follow-up of 12 months, and in the normalization of the histological profile. No patient experienced clinically relevant side effects.
