Few reports have suggested that nulliparous young patients with endometrial
cancer may be treated conservatively to preserve fertility. We present a y
oung nulliparous woman with a well differentiated adenocarcinoma of the end
ometrium treated with progestins. Since she did not respond, a definite ope
ration was performed revealing involvement of the uterine isthmus, thus nec
essitating adjuvant radiotherapy. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. Al
