Summary. A case is described in which a woman with a previous history of a pituitary chromophobe adenoma subsequently developed persistent lactation and dysmenorrhoea. Abnormally high levels of oestrogen excretion were found to be asso- ciated with cystic ovaries and uterine fibromas. Steroid concentrations in the ovarian cyst fluid are presented, together with hormone excretion data for periods previous and subsequent to hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
