Abstract
Objective To describe a patient with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) conceiving with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and embryo transfer after conservative treatment of early stage endometrial cancer. Design Case report. Setting Tertiary center for assisted reproductive technologies. Patient(s) A 32-year-old woman with PCOS, primary infertility of 4 years duration, and grade 1 endometrioid endometrial cancer. Intervention(s) Assessment of myometrial invasion and extrauterine spread with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and explorative laparotomy. High-dose progestin treatment and ICSI and embryo transfer. Main outcome measure(s) Successful take-home baby and no residual endometrial cancer. Results(s) A healthy normal female infant with a birth weight of 1,740 g was born by cesarean section at 30 weeks' gestation. No residual cancer was detected at the follow-up curettage performed 2 months after the delivery. Conclusion(s) Conservative uterus-preserving treatment may be considered in patients with early stage endometrial cancer. Assisted reproductive technologies may be used in such patients for immediate achievement of pregnancy.
