title: The Frequency of Endometriosis in Women with Pelvic Pain and Large Leiomyomata Uteri
abstract: Between April 1989 and February 1996 pelviscopy was performed to evaluate 65 patients with pelvic pain and findings consistent with large leiomyomata uteri. The principal findings in 55 women (84.60%) were a mass of 19 weeks' size and endometriosis. Endometriosis should be considered in women with large leiomyomata uteri who complain of pelvic pain.
