Abstract | OBJECTIVE: CASE: CONCLUSIONS: This is the 19th case of sclerosing peritonitis associated with luteinized thecoma of the ovaries and the 3rd to be associated with anticonvulsant therapy. Treatment should be aimed at relief of bowel obstruction symptoms, preferably with conservative methods. Tamoxifen for downregulation of TGF-beta production should be considered as a treatment modality, as it proved to be very helpful in the presented patient.
