Background:
In clinical practice, borderline seromucinous ovarian tumor (SMBT) is hard to differentiate preoperatively on ultrasound.
Case:
We presented a case of SMBT. In this case, microvascular imaging, particularly three-dimensional (3D) microvascular imaging of ultrasound showed the regular distribution of vascularity along the axis of the papillary trunk and branches.
Conclusion:
Microvascular imaging helped improve identify vascularity distribution in the papillary of SMBT and may improve our ability to differentiate SMBTs.
