The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence, clinicopathological features,
and reproductive outcomes of atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AH) in infertile patients.
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) or AH are detected at a higher rate among infertile patients.
This elevated incidence of EC may be the result of unopposed estrogen stimulation,
e.g. ovulation disorders, progesterone deficiency, or polycystic ovaries. Although
the safety and efficacy of fertility-preserving therapies have been demonstrated,
there are few publications reporting successful pregnancies after this type of treatment
