Abstract | BACKGROUND: Selective progesterone receptor modulators have shown efficacy in the treatment of endometriosis, however they are not currently licensed in Canada for this purpose. Their histomorphological effects have been well documented in the endometrium, but not in endometriosis. CASE REPORT: CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge this is the first reported case of PAEC involving a focus of endometriosis. This case demonstrates histomorphological evidence of the effects of ulipristal acetate on endometriosis, and thus provides evidence of a pharmacological effect.
