Woman with recurrent ovarian tumour delivers healthy baby after fertility-preservation treatment
The woman wished to have a child using her own eggs, even as specialists assessed the risks associated with the condition and the limited ovarian tissue remaining
In Bengaluru, a 32-year-old woman with a recurrent ovarian tumour successfully delivered a healthy baby after receiving fertility-preservation treatment and in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) despite having a very low ovarian reserve following two previous surgeries. Diagnosed with a borderline seromucinous ovarian tumour with microinvasion at age 30, the woman experienced a large cyst in her left ovary that required surgery.
Her second surgery revealed only two visible follicles in the left ovary, and her AMH level was 0.6 ng/ml, indicating limited ovarian tissue. The multidisciplinary team at Milann Fertility and Birthing Hospital opted for a two-stage treatment plan, preserving the remaining ovarian tissue while addressing the tumour. The team used a low-oestrogen stimulation protocol for IVF, and the first embryo transfer did not yield a pregnancy.
Following chronic endometritis treatment, the woman underwent a natural-cycle frozen embryo transfer, resulting in a successful pregnancy. Regular oncological surveillance was maintained alongside pregnancy care, and the woman delivered a healthy baby.
