Int J Womens Health. 2018 May 7:10:211-214. doi: 10.2147/IJWH.S153838. eCollection 2018.

Abstract

We report on a case of a 20-year-old nulliparous woman with menorrhagia associated with a smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) that was responsive to Goserelin. This case details the investigation and management of a young woman who desires ongoing fertility preservation. STUMP is a rare uterine tumor with a paucity of literature available regarding management and subsequent malignant potential, particularly in the case of a patient who desires fertility preservation.

Keywords: STUMP; fertility preservation; fibroid uterus; malignant potential; smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential.
