Successful pregnancy outcome after fertility preservation surgery in embryonal cancer of ovary – a case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
An adolescent girl at 13 years old presented with large heterogenous mass in the abdomen. Ultrasonography and CT scan reported it to be of ovarian origin with solid, cystic and necrotic areas. Laparotomy was followed by oophorectomy of one side and preservation of ovary on the contralateral side, thinking of the future fertility. Biopsy proved the mass to be an embryonal cancer of ovary, which needed six cycles of chemotherapy with bleomycine, vincristine and cisplatin. After five and half years of treatment the girl conceived spontaneously and which ends into a successful pregnancy outcome later. So fertility preservation surgery followed by chemotherapy may be considered as standard care of treatment in embryonal carcinoma of ovary in young girls, who want to retain fertility.
