Malignant endometrial polyp in woman with the levonorgestrel intrauterine system - a case report
Original language description
The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) is widely used and recommended as a reliable contraceptive. It also acts by opposing the effects of estrogen on the endometrium, thereby preventing development of endometrial hyperplasia and its possible malignant transformation. This case describes a 52-year-old multiparous amenorrhoeic patient who was seen in the gynecology outpatient department for a routine control 46 months after the insertion LNG-IUS as contraception. Hysteroscopy with a target biopsy following suspicious ultrasound scan confirmed well-differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Ultrasound scan prior to inserting LNG-IUS revealed normal 5 mm thin endometrium with the sharp edges. Uterine bleeding before the LNG-IUS insertion was regular and not excessive and the woman has remained amenorrhoeic after the LNG-IUS insertion. We present a case of the growth of a polyp-shaped endometrial carcinoma in a LNG-IUS asymptomatic user.
