Successful Treatment of Early Endometrial Carcinoma by Local Delivery of Levonorgestrel : A Case Report

الملخص EN

We describe a case of a 67-year-old Caucasian woman with an early, moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the endometrium.

A levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system was inserted, which she tolerated well.

A full D&C, following removal of the device, was performed after 9 months, confirming absence of tumoral tissue.

Examination after 24 months showed a very thin endometrium, indicating complete remission.
