Curious

I don't work in OB, but in interventioal radiology and we had a patient recently who had uterine cancer as an infant and a hysterectomy at 9 months. Is this something that others have seen or is this rare?

I haven't seen that....but I did see a baby who had to have an oophorectomy r/t a teratoma. Hyster at 9mo...that's pretty sad.

My first thought was how bad I felt that she would never have children, then I wondered what a entire lifetime on HRT would do to a body.

That is just so sad. I have never seen this, myself. But then, I am mostly dealing with women who are in labor, and clearly did not have this problem. Also, we are only a level-2 nursery, so infants with real problems go to a NICU elsewhere. And we don't hear much about them after that.

I've never seen or read of uterine cancer at such a young age, and wonder how it presented and was diagnosed.

I wonder if it may have been related to a teratoma. Interesting article:

If she had her ovaries intact then no need for HRT.
