  METHODS
  Clinical outcome.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After administering medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) for 6 weeks, hysterofiberscopy showed that the restricted lesions still remained. A partial resection of the lesions was therefore performed. The patient delivered a girl by cesarean section after the surgery.

  Conservative surgery after MPA treatment may be a new treatment option for patients who wish to preserve their fertility.
