The fertility-sparing treatment and outcome of epithelioid trophoblastic tumor isolated to lung: a case report and review literature

ConclusionOur case highlights the efficacy of fertility-sparing surgery for isolated ETT in lungs. The surgical management of pulmonary isolated ETT could be individualized under long-term supervision. Sporadic reports on the favorable outcome of extra-uterine ETT with fertility-sparing surgery were described in the last decades. The safety of this surgical strategy might be warranted only if enough reliable data is accumulated.
