Ent. Goker et al., Successful pregnancy in an infertile woman with endometrial hyperplasia and embryo transfer - A case report, J REPRO MED, 46(9), 2001, pp. 859-862
BACKGROUND: Successful pregnancy in a woman with complex endometrial hyperp
lasia with atypia was treated conservatively with gestagens.
CASE: The patient was initially diagnosed with complex hyperplasia of the e
ndometrium with atypia by endometrial curettage and treated with several cy
cles of different gestagens. After repeated endometrial curettage, in vitro
fertilization and embryo transfer were introduced for immediate treatment
of the patient's infertility in order to avoid the risk of recurrent hyperp
lasia of the endometrium front estrogens. A single pregnancy was achieved a
fter transfer of embryos obtained from intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Th
is was performed due to poor semen characteristics. The patient delivered a
normal, healthy male infant at term.
CONCLUSION: Conservative treatment of complex endometrial hyperplasia with
atypia in young women wishing to preserve fertility should be considered in
carefully selected cases.
