Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) commonly occur during reproductive years. Given the good prognosis, fertility-sparing surgery can be considered in young women wishing to preserve their fertility. However, conservative management exposes patients to the risk of recurrence. In these cases, the new surgery may be radical (completing the removal of both adnexa) or, when conservative, it may be associated with relevant damage to the ovarian reserve. In this study, we report on two women who decided to perform ovarian hyper-stimulation and oocyte cryostorage at the time of the diagnosis of recurrence, but before undergoing the new surgery. They both obtained a satisfactory number of oocytes, the retrieval was unremarkable, and no main detrimental effects on the ovarian lesions were noticed. These two cases suggest that ovarian hyper-stimulation and oocyte retrieval before planned surgery for BOT recurrence is a feasible option.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) commonly occur during reproductive years. Given the good prognosis, fertility-sparing surgery can be considered in young women wishing to preserve their fertility. However, conservative management exposes patients to the risk of recurrence. In these cases, the new surgery may be radical (completing the removal of both adnexa) or, when conservative, it may be associated with relevant damage to the ovarian reserve. In this study, we report on two women who decided to perform ovarian hyper-stimulation and oocyte cryostorage at the time of the diagnosis of recurrence, but before undergoing the new surgery. They both obtained a satisfactory number of oocytes, the retrieval was unremarkable, and no main detrimental effects on the ovarian lesions were noticed. These two cases suggest that ovarian hyper-stimulation and oocyte retrieval before planned surgery for BOT recurrence is a feasible option.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
