    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Gynecologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting women of reproductive age.
    • Extensive endometriosis with ascites is an exceptionally rare presentation.
    • Conservative management strategies are crucial for nulliparous women desiring future fertility.

    Observation:

    • A young, nulliparous woman presented with extensive endometriosis and ascites.
    • The patient received suppressive therapy with danazol for over two years.

    Findings:

    • Danazol therapy demonstrated feasibility for conservative management of this rare endometriosis subtype.
    • Prolonged suppressive treatment was tolerated by the patient.

    Implications:

    • This case suggests that long-term danazol therapy may be a viable option for selected patients with extensive endometriosis and ascites.
