Treatment for infertility and risk of invasive epithelial ovarian cancer - a case report
A 30-year-old women was admitted to the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Clinical Center of Serbia in April 2004 with the following diagnosis: adnexal mass soon after in vitro fertilization. Her history revealed salpingo-oophorectomy for mucinous cystadenofibroma of the left ovary eight years before and cystectomy of the right ovary three years before. At admission, the most remarkable findings were high temperature and elevated white blood cells with erythrocyte sedimentation rate. After the antibiotic treatment, laparatomy was performed and a multilocular right adnexal tumor was found. The right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and pathological diagnosis was mucinous ovarian adenocarcinoma, Two weeks later, radical surgery was carried out and chemotherapy was applied. There is an urgent need for clear interpretation of the link between ovarian stimulation and ovarian cancer. An association between ovarian stimulation treatment and ovarian cancer has still not been completely proven.
