OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of embryo cryopreservation before hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for endometrial cancer. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: University and community service. PATIENT(S): An infertile woman with endometrial biopsy demonstrating grade II/III moderately differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma. INTERVENTION(S): A Progestasert intrauterine device (IUD) was inserted into the uterine cavity to potentially reduce tumor proliferation during the stimulation cycle followed by oocyte retrieval and cryopreservation of 14 embryos. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Pregnancy. RESULT(S): Successful pregnancy in a gestational carrier. CONCLUSION(S): Embryo cryopreservation and use of a gestational carrier may offer a fertility option for patients with endometrial malignancies without substantially delaying treatment.
