A case of recent ovulation in a postmenopausal, chronically alcoholic woman taking conjugated estrogens is presented. Bilateral corpora lutea, Graafian follicles, numerous corpora albicantia and secretory endometrium were found. The possible role of the prolonged alcohol and conjugated estrogens intake in modulating the pituitary-gonadal axis is discussed.
