Successful multidisciplinary treatment of uterine serous carcinoma in a patient who had previously undergone renal transplantation
Objective: Renal transplantation is a risk factor for premalignant and malignant changes of the endometrium. Thus, prompt and aggressive treatment of postoperative complications remains a major issue. We report the case of an asymptomatic postmenopausal woman with a history of renal transplantation...

| 520 | |a Objective: Renal transplantation is a risk factor for premalignant and malignant changes of the endometrium. Thus, prompt and aggressive treatment of postoperative complications remains a major issue. We report the case of an asymptomatic postmenopausal woman with a history of renal transplantation who underwent surgery for uterine serous carcinoma (USC). Case report: An asymptomatic 59-year-old woman who had undergone renal transplantation presented with elevated serum CA-125 levels. Cancer screening revealed uterine serous carcinoma, for which she underwent total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Unfortunately, the postoperative course was complicated by cardiogenic shock and decompensated heart failure. The complexities of the cardiac problems and renal transplantation required a multidisciplinary approach involving different specialists. She was successfully discharged 48 days after the surgery. Conclusion: Gynecologic cancer screening in asymptomatic postmenopausal women after renal transplantation is warranted. If postoperative complications occur in this population, a multidisciplinary approach is recommended. Keywords: Multidisciplinary approach, Renal transplant, Uterine serous carcinoma | ||
