Many questions have been raised recently about the possible association
between ovulation induction and ovarian cancer. In order to contribute to
the limited literature on this important issue, two cases of ovarian cancer
in women who had multiple ovulation induction are presented here. In the
first case the patient had ovarian induction by clomiphene citrate while
she already had an ovarian cyst. The cyst enlarged under induction. During
laparoscopy, the cyst was removed. Histological examination showed a
borderline and invasive sero-papillary cystadenoma. In the second case, the
patient underwent ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination. During
the first ultrasound in the beginning of the cycle, an ovarian cyst was
discovered. Laparoscopy was performed and the cyst removed. Histological
examination showed a borderline and invasive mucinous cystadenoma.
