D. Gallot et al., Successful transfer of frozen-thawed embryos obtained immediately before radical surgery for stage IIIa serous borderline ovarian tumour, HUM REPR, 15(11), 2000, pp. 2347-2350
A stage IIIA borderline serous ovarian tumour was treated conservatively by
laparoscopy to preserve the fertility of a 21 year old nulligravid woman,
Six months later, recurrent lesions were resected, An 'urgent' NF was perfo
rmed to obtain frozen embryos. Oncological treatment was then completed by
radical surgery with uterine conservation. Fifteen months later, two thawed
embryos were successfully transferred and the patient delivered one baby.
From this observation, the authors discuss an alternative to oocyte donatio
n in cases of bilateral ovariectomy for stage IIIA borderline serous ovaria
n tumour.
