A case of delivery after treatment of an ovarian endodermal sinus tumor (stage lc) is reported. The patient was a 27‐year‐old Japanese woman who showed a rapid decrease in α‐fetoprotein after the operation and chemotherapy. Three years later, she became pregnant and bore a female baby without any malformation at full term.
