BACKGROUND: Young @entity1 with @entity43 of low malignant potential usually undergo conservative surgery because of the excellent prognosis of these @entity5 . @entity1 wishing to conceive after diagnosis occasionally require ovulation induction, but data regarding the safety of assisted reproductive technologies in this situation remains anecdotal. The current study analyzes the outcome of a group of @entity1 who received infertility treatment after the conservative management of @entity43 . METHODS: The clinical and pathologic records of 104 @entity1 with a borderline @entity5 of the ovary who were treated and followed over a 20-year period (1979--1999) were reviewed. Forty-three @entity1 who underwent conservative management were the subjects of the current study. RESULTS: Follow-up was available for 95% of the @entity1 , giving a total of 270 @entity1 -years of follow-up. Nine of the 43 @entity1 developed a local recurrence, 8 of which occurred in @entity1 with @entity5 . Five of these 9 @entity1 underwent cystectomy only at the time of recurrence, and all were without evidence of disease at a mean follow-up of 75 months (range, 25--93 months). Nineteen @entity1 delivered a total of 25 healthy @entity1 after diagnosis of @entity43 ; 7 of these @entity1 were treated with @entity52 ( @entity52 ) after diagnosis. Four of these @entity1 developed a recurrence, two @entity1 before the @entity52 treatment and two @entity1 after the @entity52 treatment. The latter two @entity1 were without evidence of disease at the time of last follow-up (15 months and 26 months, respectively, after the recurrence). CONCLUSIONS: The results of the current study suggest that ovulation induction may be considered after the diagnosis of @entity43 . Recurrences were observed in two of seven @entity1 , all of which remained histologically borderline.
