A report of two cases of recurrent stromal endometriosis, both the patients having positive estrogen receptors in the tumor tissue. They were first treated with tamoxifen, which failed to halt growth of the tumor. After a month's subsequent treatment with progesterone the tumor regressed and the patients' condition improved.
