Borderline ovarian tumors are defined as the presence of cell proliferation and nuclear atypia without stromal invasion2, their incidence is estimated between 2.5 and 5.5 / 100,000 women per year, they are usually diagnosed in early stages with a good prognosis even in advanced stages.

CLINICAL CASE:

25-year-old patient, with abdominal growth and diffuse pain, increased uterus of volume above the umbilical scar, with solid, mobile tumor, to the vaginal touch dependent on the right annex. Ultrasound report: right ovary 13.1 x 12 x 11.2 cm and the left not visible, CA 125: 130.4 U / mL. A peritoneal lavage was performed, a peritoneal biopsy was taken, and omentectomy and right salpingopherectomy were performed. The transoperative study reported the existence of a tumor in the right ovary, with implants in the abdominal cavity. Histopathological report: papillary tumor bordering the right ovary, without vascular invasion, peritoneal lavage, omentum and positive peritoneal implants to neoplastic cells.
