Abstract

15069 Background: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the patients with borderline ovarian tumors. Methods: Clinical features, treatment and survival status of 100 patients with borderline ovarian tumors were retrospectively evaluated between 1998 and 2005. Results: Mean age was 37.75 (Range: 15–72) years. 22 cases were in postmenapausal status. Histopathological diagnosis was serous, musinous, endometrioid and clear cell in 54%, 41%, 2%, 3% of the patients, respectively. 19 cases underwent restaging laparotomy. In 52 cases fertility sparing surgery was performed. 70 patients had stage IA, 8 patients had stage IB, 16 cases had stage IC, 2 cases had stage IIIA, 3 cases cases had stage IIIB and a case had stage IIIC disease. 22 cases were administered chemotherapy because of advanced stage disease. All cases were alive. 5 year disease free survival of 51 cases was 100%. Conclusions: Borderline ovarian tumors have excellent prognosis and conservative surgery can be performed in young patients with early stage disease.
