Effect of octreotide on endometriosis in acromegaly: Case report with review of literature

Abstract: Objective:To study the effect of octreotide therapy on endometriotic lesions in a patient with coexisting endometriosis and acromegaly.Intervention: Patient:A 34-year-old female was diagnosed with acromegaly and coexisting endometriosis. Post-surgical resection of the tumor, patient was initiated on octreotide therapy.Results:There was improvement in menstrual bleeding as IGF1 levels decreased with Octreotide therapy. Resolution of the endometriotic lesions was observed during follow up.Conclusion:In this unus… Show more

“…Our observations indicate that octreotide may be effective for the management of AUB. The efficacy of octreotide in decreasing menstrual bleeding has been previously reported in a woman with acromegaly receiving octreotide to decrease growth hormone secretion 3 . We propose that the observed decrease in uterine bleeding following octreotide administration results from constriction of uterine and endometrial vessels.…”

“…С этих позиций уникальность изучения in vivo влияния акромегалии как заболевания, характеризующегося хроническим повышением уровня ИФР-1 в сыворотке крови, на течение АМ позволила нам провести клиникопатогенетические параллели и прийти к обобщениям, которые ранее в научной литературе не высказывались, а именно: отмечаются высокая частота развития АМ (36,1%) при акромегалии, более ранняя клиническая ма-нифестация как с позиций возраста больных, так и глубины поражения миометрия, особенности профиля типичных для эндометриоидного поражения матки жалоб (низкая частота циклического болевого синдрома), более высокая доля изолированного клинически «активного» АМ. Единственным обнаруженным нами описанием характера течения эндометриоза у 34-летней пациентки с акромегалией явилась публикация индийских коллег, указывающая на регресс клинических и эхографических признаков эндометриоза после достижения ремиссии нейроэндокринного заболевания [20]. Экспериментальное исследование на новорожденных самках мышей с назначением глутамата натрия для снижения сывороточных концентраций СТГ, пролактина и подавления паттерна гормонов, характерного для эстрального цикла, показало подавление развития АМ и предопухолевых гиперпластических альвеолярных узелков молочных желез [21].…”
