Abstract
Abstract
The paper introduced the experience of a case of recurrence of endometrial stromal sarcoma with fertility conservation treatment after full-term delivery. A 24-year-old unmarried patient who, with her increasing amount of menstruation in the late six months, had a mass in her lower-abdominal which was confirmed by B-ultrasonic diagnosis as myometrium mixed mass, was given an enucleation of uterus tumor. The pathological examination of tumor sample revealed it as low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LESS). And the patient underwent 6 cycles of chemotherapy over 8 months before she got pregnant and had a full-term delivery. But in 34 months after delivery, the disease recurred with metastatic of pelvic and peritoneal cavity and the patient had to receive comprehensive therapy.
Conclusion
The unmarried young patient with stage I low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma has the chance to preserve uterus for her pregnancy and delivery. But the using of cesarean needs do staging operation and prognosis evaluation.
