| Abstract |
|
Parovarian tumor comprises about 10% of uterine adnexal tumor and is probably of
paramesonephric; mesothelial or mesonephric origin. Most of them are benign and malignant
tumors occur very rarely. The tumor usually occurs in premenopausal woman and rarely in
adolescence. We present a case of parovarian serous borderline tumor occurring in adolescence.
As far as we know; this is the first case of parovarian serous borderline tumor of adolescence in
Korean literature. A 16-year-old female underwent cystectomy for cystic mass in mesosalpinx;
apart from ovary and fallopian tube. The inner surface of the cystic mass showed a cauliflowerlike
mural nodule; which was composed of papillary structures covered with atypical cells. Stromal
invasion was not observed. The histologic features are similar to serous borderline ovarian tumor. |
