Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Psammocarcinoma is a rare form of low grade serous carcinoma of the ovary or peritoneum. Although limited to case reports and small series, psammocarcinoma appears to have an indolent course. CASE: A 27-year-old, nulliparous female presented with an adnexal mass. Following fertility-sparing surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, she was able to achieve a successful pregnancy. Fifteen years after initial conservative treatment, she remains without pathologic evidence of cancer. CONCLUSION: Psammocarcinoma are rare neoplasms that appear to have an indolent clinical course. Pregnancy after the diagnosis and treatment of psammocarcinoma may not alter the clinical course of the disease.
