Summary

Specific androgen (Kd 0.27±0.06 nM), estrogen (Kd 0.19±0.04 nM) and progestin (Kd 0.22±0.07 nM) binding were investigated in benign gynecologic tumors and tumor-like lesions. The simultaneous presence of androgen and progestin receptors was a common finding. In one endo-metrioma, specific androgen, estrogen and progestin binding was observed simultaneously.
