PREGNANCY FOLLOWING CONSERVATIVE SURGERY AND ADJUNCTIVE CHEMOTHERAPY FOR STAGE III IMMATURE TERATOMA OF THE OVARY

A 24–year–old woman with stage III grade 3 immature teratoma of the ovary was treated with a unilateral salpingooophorectomy and nine courses of vincristine, actinomycin D, and cyclophosphamide combination chemotherapy. She had a negative second–look exploration; 30 months after initial surgery she became pregnant, and subsequently delivered a normal child at term. This is the first report of a successful pregnancy following conservative surgery and chemotherapy for advanced–stage immature teratoma.
