Laparoscopically-Assisted Hysterectomy for the Management of a Borderline Ovarian Tumor: A Case Report

Abstract

Borderline ovarian tumors account for 4% of ovarian neoplasms, an incidence which remains constant despite advancing age.¹ Management for younger women can be unilateral oophorectomy,² although simple hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is more appropriate for women beyond childbearing age.³ The authors report a laparoscopic approach to a case of borderline ovarian tumor.
