Gynecologic Malignancies Post-LeFort Colpocleisis

الملخص EN

Introduction.

LeFort colpocleisis (LFC) is a safe and effective obliterative surgical option for older women with advanced pelvic organ prolapse who no longer desire coital activity.

A major disadvantage is the limited ability to evaluate for post-LFC gynecologic malignancies.

Methods.

We present the first case of endometrioid ovarian cancer diagnosed after LFC and review all reported gynecologic malignancies post-LFC in the English medical literature.

Results.

This is the second reported ovarian cancer post-LFC and the first of the endometrioid subtype.

A total of nine other gynecologic malignancies post-LFC have been reported in the English medical literature.

Conclusions.

Gynecologic malignancies post-LFC are rare.

We propose a simple 3-step strategy in evaluating post-LFC malignancies.
