Abstract

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a rare malignant tumor of the uterus. The standard treatment is surgery, such as total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo‑oophorectomy. The use of adjuvant treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and endocrine therapy, remains controversial, so it is uncommon for conservative management to be performed in patients with low‑grade ESS. The present study reports the case of a 19‑year‑old female with ESS at stage III who underwent a local mass resection by laparoscopic surgery. A high dose of progestin (medroxyprogesterone acetate) therapy was then administered. Conservative management resulted in complete remission of the low‑grade ESS, with no sign of recurrence at the 33‑month follow‑up.
