Introduction: Mucinous ovarian carcinoma is often diagnosed early and can affect young patients. The preservation of the female reproductive organ is one of the critical issues, especially for nulliparous women. This case report aims to reconsider the safe outcome of fertility-sparing surgery for infiltrative type mucinous ovarian carcinoma. Case Presentation: A 28-year-old woman with a right mucinous ovarian carcinoma, infiltrative subtype stage IA was treated by right salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and lymph nodes staging. A 5-year follow-up showed no signs of relapse, and she completed two full-term natural pregnancies. Conclusion: Conservative surgery is a crucial matter for this patient category. The infiltrative type has a poorer prognosis, but few papers have reported the outcome and the safety of fertility-sparing surgery in this context.
