title: [Two case reports of long-term treatment of endometriosis with cyproterone acetate].
abstract: Endometriosis is a benign, chronic disease with high incidence during the female fertile period. Conservative treatment is dominated by the use of GnRH-analog substances, Gestagens and Danazol. As a case report we present the signs and symptoms, as well as the long term therapeutical strategy in two cases of severe endometriosis. Combined with signs of hyperandrogenism, the long term use of cyproteroneacetate is beneficial.
