Abstract

The serous borderline tumors(SBTs) are divided into 3 groups, typical SBT with nonin-vasive implants, SBTs with invasive implants, and a recently described tumor, desinated mic-ropapillary serous carcinoma(MPSC). These tumors are associated with extraovarian implants, espicially peritoneum. Invasiveness of implants has prognostic significance in disease progre-ssion and recurrence. Micropapillary serous carcinoma and SBTs with invasive implants sho-uld be classified as carcinoma and treated accordingly. We report a case of borderline malign-ant ovarian surface papilloma with invasive peritoneal implant.

Key Words: Serous borderline tumor(SBT), Surface papilloma, Invasive implant
