Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare indolent tumor with a favorable prognosis. With the importance of improving quality of life recognized, fertility-sparing surgery may be an option for those young women. However, most of the reports suggested that stage IA patients might be candidates for fertility-sparing surgery, and adjuvant hormonal treatment was considered a feasible adjuvant therapy for reducing the recurrence risk of patients with LGESS and hysterectomy was recommended after the completion of pregnancy and delivery.
