Abstract

Primary leiomyosarcoma of the fallopian tube (PLFT) is an extremely rare gynecological malignancy that has only been described in case reports. Fertility‐sparing treatment for PLFT has not been reported previously. A 24‐year‐old nulligravida woman was diagnosed with stage IC1 PLFT in the right fallopian tube after experiencing right lower quadrant pain for 2 weeks. She underwent laparoscopic right salpingectomy to preserve fertility followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine/docetaxel. She subsequently became pregnant spontaneously, delivering a term baby 27 months after treatment. This appears to be the only report of the use of fertility‐preserving treatment for PLFT. The success of the treatment provides valuable information on the preservation of fertility in young women with PLFT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
