REI, Mariana et al. Pregnancy after endometrial carcinoma: case report and literature review. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.1, pp.50-53. ISSN 1646-5830.

Although endometrial cancer is primarily a postmenopausal disease, around 4 percent of patients are younger than 40 years and may desire fertility, requiring conservative treatment options. We describe a clinical case of a 34-year-old nulligesta diagnosed with early stage endometrial carcinoma who achieved a term pregnancy with live birth after conservative fertility sparing treatment with progestins. At two-year follow up, after childbearing and still preserving fertility, she remains in complete remission of the disease. An insight on conservative approaches is provided and potential risks are discussed.
