Summary

Malignant Brenner tumors of the ovary are rare, primarily affecting postmenopausal women. Surgical treatment is standard, though the efficacy of additional therapies for these ovarian tumors remains uncertain.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Brenner tumors of the ovary are uncommon, with malignant forms representing approximately 2% of cases.
  • The first malignant form was described in 1945, with limited literature available.
  • This study reviews 160 cases to analyze anatomoclinical, epidemiological, and histological aspects.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the anatomoclinical and epidemiological features of malignant Brenner tumors.
  • To examine the histological characteristics and diagnostic challenges.
  • To evaluate the therapeutic strategies and outcomes for malignant Brenner tumors.

Summary:

  • Malignant Brenner tumors predominantly occur in the peri- and postmenopausal periods.
  • Clinical presentations are often nonspecific, necessitating careful histological examination for diagnosis.

  • Metastasis, primarily loco-regional, is observed in about half of the cases.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the diagnostic difficulties associated with histological criteria for malignancy.
    • Emphasizes surgery as the primary treatment modality for malignant Brenner tumors.
    • Questions the effectiveness of adjuvant treatments, suggesting a need for further research in ovarian tumor management.
