Case Report: Borderline tumor and primary peritoneal carcinoma - a rare synchronism

Ovarian borderline serous tumors present with peritoneal involvement in 20% of cases, either as non-invasive or invasive implants, the latter also known as extraovarian low-grade serous carcinoma. The coexistence of high-grade serous carcinoma is rare, suggesting a synchronous neoplasia with a disti...

description Ovarian borderline serous tumors present with peritoneal involvement in 20% of cases, either as non-invasive or invasive implants, the latter also known as extraovarian low-grade serous carcinoma. The coexistence of high-grade serous carcinoma is rare, suggesting a synchronous neoplasia with a distinct and independent tumor biology and behavior. We aim to describe a case of a synchronous ovary-peritoneum neoplasia: serous borderline tumor and primary peritoneal high-grade serous carcinoma. A discussion and literature review concerning the optimal diagnostic and therapeutic approach is provided.
