It is uncommon that fertility is preserved in young nulliparous females with low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS). Therefore, successful pregnancy following such conservative management has been rarely reported in previous literature. A 25-year-old female (gravida, 0; para, 0) underwent hysteroscopic surgery and was pathologically diagnosed with an endometrial stromal nodule. The patient underwent fertility-preserving local resection and uterine reconstruction, with a final pathological diagnosis of low-grade ESS. Endocrine therapy was then administered. Conservative management resulted in the complete remission of low-grade ESS. The patient naturally conceived and successfully delivered a healthy baby at 42 weeks' gestation by cesarean section, ~30 months following diagnosis with low-grade ESS. In conclusion, conservative management, including fertility-preserving local mass resection and endocrine therapy, can be effective for low-grade ESS and may yield a favorable outcome for young nulliparous females desiring fertility preservation.
年轻未生育的低级别子宫内膜间质肉瘤(ESS)女性患者保留生育功能的情况并不常见。因此,以往文献中很少报道此类保守治疗后成功妊娠的案例。一名25岁女性(孕0产0)接受了宫腔镜手术,病理诊断为子宫内膜间质结节。患者接受了保留生育功能的局部切除及子宫重建,最终病理诊断为低级别ESS。随后给予内分泌治疗。保守治疗使低级别ESS完全缓解。患者自然受孕,并在诊断为低级别ESS约30个月后,于孕42周时通过剖宫产成功产下一名健康婴儿。总之,包括保留生育功能的局部肿物切除及内分泌治疗在内的保守治疗,对低级别ESS可能有效,对于渴望保留生育功能的年轻未生育女性可能会产生良好的结局。
