OH, H2O and SiO are the 3 known molecular masers associated with stars. The known transitions, their line profiles, radial velocities, temporal intensity variations and polarization properties are discussed. Current work on determination of circumstellar shell sizes is reviewed. Possible future research topics are outlined.
