Özet
Borderline ovarian tumor (BOT), also known as tumors of low malignant potential, represent 10-20% of all ovarian malignancies. Histologically, the majority of BOTs are serous or mucinous; however, they may also have clear cell, endometrioid, Brenner (transitional cell) or mixed histology. As they frequently affect younger patients the clinical management is complicated by considerations such as preserving fertility and reducing postoperative morbidity. Due to the absence of specific preoperative criteria, diagnosis is often made during surgery or after the anatomopathologic examination. This review will attempt to inform readers about the recent data concerning these topics.
