Paratubal serous borderline tumor

Area of Science:

• Gynecologic Oncology
• Reproductive Medicine

Background:

• Paratubal cysts are common incidental findings.
• Paratubal serous borderline tumors are exceedingly rare, with limited literature.
• Distinguishing these tumors from benign cysts is crucial for appropriate management.

Purpose of the Study:

• To report a rare case of a paratubal serous borderline tumor.
• To describe the successful fertility-sparing surgical management of this rare tumor.
• To discuss the implications for clinical practice and future research.

Main Methods:

• Surgical excision of a paratubal mass.
• Fertility-sparing surgical staging procedures.
• Postoperative follow-up for disease recurrence and reproductive outcomes.

Main Results:

• A 27-year-old nulliparous woman presented with a large pelvic mass.
• She underwent successful paratubal cystectomy and fertility-sparing staging.
• She achieved a term pregnancy and delivery 13 months post-surgery.
• She remains disease-free 20 months after surgery.

Conclusions:

• Paratubal serous borderline tumors require careful consideration due to their rarity.
• Fertility-sparing surgery can be a viable option for young women.
• Management strategies may be extrapolated from ovarian borderline tumors.
