    Pregnancy induced with menotropins in a woman with polycystic ovaries, endometrial hyperplasia, and adenocarcinoma.

    Muechler EK, Bonfiglio T, Choate J, Huang KE.

    A 31-year-old woman is described with PCOD associated with endometrial hyperplasia and well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Conservative treatment with ovulation induction was pursued for a total of 3 1/2 years. After CC treatment failed to achieve conception, treatment with menotropins resulted in a twin pregnancy that aborted spontaneously and a singleton term pregnancy. Hysterectomy was performed 4 1/2 years after the initial diagnosis of well-differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma was made. Histologic examination of the endometrium showed no progression of the disease. Ovulation induction of patients with polycystic ovaries and well-differentiated and noninvasive endometrial adenocarcinoma may be justified in properly selected cases.
