Abstract
Gynecologic malignancies sometimes affect women before menopause. Aggressive treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy, often lead to premature menopause. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), typically used for managing menopause-associated health issues, may be limited by tumor sensitivity to estrogen. Here, we present a case of a 37-year-old woman seeking fertility, who was diagnosed with a serous borderline ovarian tumor (BOT). Fertility-preserving surgery and in-vitro fertilization resulted in a twin pregnancy. During a postpartum amenorrheic period, there was no recurrence. However, she experienced a rapid recurrence of the disease following the resumption of menstruation and underwent radical surgery. This rapid recurrence after menstruation resumed suggests potential estrogen sensitivity. Close postoperative monitoring has been ongoing without HRT.

Abstract
This study examined treatment outcomes, including preserved fertility, menstrual regularity, and pregnancy outcomes, in patients with stage I epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) or borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) who underwent fertility-sparing surgery (FSS). Patients with stage I EOC and BOTs who were aged 18-45 years and underwent FSS between 2007 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Significant differences between various subgroups in terms of disease recurrence, menstrual irregularity due to the disease, and pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. A total of 71 patients with BOTs and 33 patients with EOC were included. In the BOT group, the median age was 30 (range, 19-44) years. Recurrence occurred in eight patients, with one case exhibiting a malignant transformation into mucinous EOC. Among the 35 married patients with BOTs, 20 successfully conceived, resulting in 23 live births and 3 spontaneous abortions. A higher pregnancy rate was observed in those without prior childbirth (82.4%) than in those who had prior childbirth (33.3%). In the EOC group, the median age was 34 (range, 22-42) years. Recurrence occurred in one patient. Menstrual regularity was maintained in 69.7% of the patients. Among the 14 married patients in this group, 12 achieved a total of 15 pregnancies (including 2 twin pregnancies), 16 live births, and 1 spontaneous abortion. The results of the study confirmed that FSS is a favorable surgical option for young women with early-stage BOTs or EOC who wish to preserve their fertility. However, additional investigations are needed to validate these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is a common gynecological malignant tumor in women. Most patients have reached the advanced stage when they visit the hospital. In order to diagnose ovarian cancer at an early stage, treat it at an early stage, and improve the survival rate of patients, this study has used the imaging computed tomography (CT) method to diagnose stage IA ovarian cancer. PURPOSE The purpose of this work was to study CT features of stage IA ovarian cancer, and compare the borderline tumor and stage IC ovarian cancer at the same time so as to improve the CT diagnosis of early ovarian cancer. METHODS We retrospectively collected clinical and CT data of patients with stage I ovarian cancer and borderline ovarian tumor admitted to Nantong Tumor Hospital from 2013 to 2021. Altogether, 23 cases of patients (borderline ovarian tumor, 9 cases; stage IA ovarian cancer, 5 cases; stage IC ovarian cancer, 9 cases) were involved. CT characteristics of these patients were analyzed in terms of the tumor diameter, cystic solid structure, solid component, septation, enhancement, peritoneal thickening, ascites, and abdominal lymph nodes. RESULTS CT features of stage IA ovarian cancer included large tumor size (average diameter: 15 cm), cystic solid structure (4/5; 80%), septation (4/5; 80%), and enhanced cystic wall, septum, or solid components of the tumor on contrast-enhanced CT (5/5; 100%) no peritoneal thickening (0/5; 0%), no ascites (0/5; 0%), and no abdominal lymph node enlargement (0/5; 0%). The tumor structure did not differ significantly between stage IA and IC ovarian cancers (p > 0.05), while intraperitoneal ascites did (χ2 = 0.031; p < 0.05). Stage IA and borderline ovarian tumors did not differ significantly in ovarian tumor structure (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION CT features of stage IA ovarian cancer included large tumor size, cystic solid structure, septation, and enhanced cystic wall and solid parts in the tumors. No pelvic or abdominal metastasis was observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study assessed the necessity of surgical re-staging in women with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) and evaluated the impact of complete surgical staging, lymphadenectomy, and omentectomy on disease recurrence and survival. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with BOTs. A total of 901 patients were eligible for inclusion in the study, and we evaluated some of the variables and clinical/surgical characteristics of the cases. The effects of the type of surgical procedure, surgical staging, and complete or incomplete staging on recurrence were calculated. The rates of disease-free survival, overall survival, and recurrence were compared according to complete surgical staging. A Cox regression analysis was performed to identify potential prognostic factors, and survival curves were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS The overall recurrence rate was 13.9%, and recurrence was comparable between the complete surgical staging group and the incomplete groups (P>0.05). The performance of complete surgical staging did not show an effect on long-term survival, and complete surgical staging, omentectomy, and lymphadenectomy had no effect on recurrence. In multivariate analyses, only radical surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy were risk factors for the recurrence of BOTs. Furthermore, we found that omentectomy led to a relatively low recurrence rate in patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage > I (P=0.022). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that complete surgical staging should be considered a standard treatment for patients with advanced stage BOTs but not for those at FIGO stage I. It might be safe to reduce the scope of surgical procedures in patients with early-stage BOTs. However, it is not necessary to perform re-staging operations for BOTs with a macroscopically normal extra-ovarian appearance.

Abstract
Whether infertility drug exposure increases the risk of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) remains controversial. The present study was conducted with a comprehensive search for studies published from January 1990 to December 2021 in the online databases Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE. We considered the first diagnosis of a BOT as the primary outcome. The odds ratio (OR) was calculated with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of BOTs in patients who were treated with infertility drugs. Ten studies, a total of 2,779,511 women, qualified for inclusion in this meta-analysis. The pooled OR of 1.56 (95% CI: 1.09-2.22) revealed a significant positive association between infertility drugs and an increased risk for BOTs, but for specific drugs, only CC plus Gn had statistical significance. No publication bias was detected using the Egger and Begg tests (p > 0.05). A significant difference in BOT incidence was observed among infertile women and nulliparous women who were treated with or without infertility drugs. In conclusion, the use of infertility drugs may increase the risk of BOTs, but a dose-dependent relationship was not observed between the number of assisted reproduction technology cycles and the risk of BOTs, and infertile women who successfully became pregnant might have a reduced risk.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) accounts for 15-20% of all epithelial ovarian tumors. Concerns have arisen about the clinical and prognostic implications of BOT with exophytic growth patterns. We retrospectively reviewed all cases of BOT patients surgically treated from 2015 to 2020. Patients were divided into an endophytic pattern (with intracystic tumor growth and intact ovarian capsule) and an exophytic pattern (with tumor growth outside the ovarian capsule) group. Among the 254 patients recruited, 229 met the inclusion criteria, and of these, 169 (73.8%) belonged to the endophytic group. The endophytic group showed more commonly an early FIGO stage than the exophytic group (100.0% vs. 66.7%, p < 0.001). Furthermore, tumor cells in peritoneal washing (20.0% vs. 0.6%, p < 0.001), elevated Ca125 levels (51.7% vs. 31.4%, p = 0.003), peritoneal implants (0 vs. 18.3%, p < 0.001), and invasive peritoneal implants (0 vs. 5%, p = 0.003) were more frequently observed in the exophytic group. The survival analysis showed 15 (6.6%) total recurrences, 9 (5.3%) in the endophytic and 6 (10.0%) patients in the exophytic group (p = 0.213). At multivariable analysis, age (p = 0.001), FIGO stage (p = 0.002), fertility-sparing surgery (p = 0.001), invasive implants (p = 0.042), and tumor spillage (p = 0.031) appeared significantly associated with recurrence. Endophytic and exophytic patterns in borderline ovarian tumors show superimposable recurrence rates and disease-free survival.

Abstract
Ovarian tumors are the most frequent adnexal mass, raising diagnostic and therapeutic issues linked to a large spectrum of tumors, with a continuum from benign to malignant. Thus far, none of the available diagnostic tools have proven efficient in deciding strategy, and no consensus exists on the best strategy between "single test", "dual testing", "sequential testing", "multiple testing options" and "no testing". In addition, there is a need for prognostic tools such as biological markers of recurrence and theragnostic tools to detect women not responding to chemotherapy in order to adapt therapies. Non-coding RNAs are classified as small or long based on their nucleotide count. Non-coding RNAs have multiple biological functions such as a role in tumorigenesis, gene regulation and genome protection. These ncRNAs emerge as new potential tools to differentiate benign from malignant tumors and to evaluate prognostic and theragnostic factors. In the specific setting of ovarian tumors, the goal of the present work is to offer an insight into the contribution of biofluid non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) expression.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) account for 10-20% of epithelial ovarian neoplasms. They are characterized by their lack of destructive stromal invasion. In comparison to invasive ovarian cancers, BOTs occur in younger patients and have better outcome. Serous borderline ovarian tumor (SBOT) represents the most common subtype of BOT. Complete surgical staging is the current standard management but fertility-sparing surgery is an option for SBOT patients who are at reproductive age. While most cases of SBOTs have an indolent course with favorable prognosis, late recurrence and malignant transformation can occur, usually in the form of low-grade serous carcinoma (LGSC). Thus, assessment of the recurrence risk is essential for the management of those patients. SBOTs can be associated with lymph node involvement (LNI) in up to 30% of patients who undergo lymph node dissection at diagnosis, and whether LNI affects prognosis is controversial. The present review suggests that recurrent SBOTs with LNI have poorer oncological outcomes and highlights the biases due to the scarcity of reports in the literature. Preventing SBOTs from recurring and becoming invasive overtime and a more profound understanding of the underlying mechanisms at play are necessary.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are non-invasive tumors frequently diagnosed in young patients. Surgical removal of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and omentum is considered definitive management, however fertility-sparing approach is a recognized option. Surveillance is important due to known recurrence, but there is controversy over the effectiveness of follow-up modalities. The objective is to determine the efficacy of ultrasound screening in identifying tumor recurrence. This retrospective chart review evaluated all patients consulted and/or treated surgically at our institution from January 2015 to June 2020 diagnosed with BOT. Patients were excluded if concurrently diagnosed with another gynecologic malignancy, did not have yearly ultrasound follow-up, or were lost to follow-up. This study included 56 patients, 17 of whom underwent fertility preserving surgery. The overall rate of recurrence was 10.7%; with recurrence rates of 23.5% for the fertility preserving surgery population and 5.1% for the definitive surgery population. Ultrasound first identified 5 of the 6 (83.3%) recurrences. Overall time to recurrence was 51.5 months. In conclusion, recurrences were identified on routine ultrasound screening prior to symptom onset or detection via physical exam in 83.3% of cases. While the best modality of follow-up remains controversial, this review provides evidence supporting the use of routine ultrasound follow-up for early detection of BOT recurrence.

This study aimed to evaluate the prediction efficacy of malignant transformation of ovarian endometrioma (OE) using the Copenhagen Index (CPH-I), the risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA), and the R2 predictive index. This retrospective study was conducted at the Department of Gynecology, Nara Medical University Hospital, from January 2008 to July 2021. A total of 171 patients were included in the study. In the current study, cases were divided into three cohorts: pre-menopausal, post-menopausal, and a combined cohort. Patients with benign ovarian tumor mainly received laparoscopic surgery, and patients with suspected malignant tumors underwent laparotomy. Information from a review chart of the patients’ medical records was collected. In the combined cohort, a multivariate analysis confirmed that the ROMA index, the R2 predictive index, and tumor laterality were extracted as independent factors for predicting malignant tumors (hazard ratio (HR): 222.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): 22.27−2215.50, p < 0.001; HR: 9.80, 95% CI: 2.90−33.13, p < 0.001; HR: 0.15, 95% CI: 0.03−0.75, p = 0.021, respectively). In the pre-menopausal cohort, a multivariate analysis confirmed that the CPH index and the R2 predictive index were extracted as independent factors for predicting malignant tumors (HR: 6.45, 95% CI: 1.47−28.22, p = 0.013; HR: 31.19, 95% CI: 8.48−114.74, p < 0.001, respectively). Moreover, the R2 predictive index was only extracted as an independent factor for predicting borderline tumors (HR: 45.00, 95% CI: 7.43−272.52, p < 0.001) in the combined cohort. In pre-menopausal cases or borderline cases, the R2 predictive index is useful; while, in post-menopausal cases, the ROMA index is better than the other indexes.

Abstract
Introduction ovarian Mucinous Borderline Tumors (MBT) are characterized by an epithelial proliferation similar to those of well differentiated adenocarcinomas but are distinguished by the absence of stromal invasion. They are often difficult to diagnose histologically. The aim of the work was to specify the pathological and clinical features and to highlight the prognostic of these tumors. Methods study was retrospective including 49 cases of primary ovarian MBT, diagnosed at the Patholgy Department of Salah Azaiez Institute from 1992 to 2019. Results median age was 48 years old. Histologically, the cases were divided into 34 cases of pure MBT, 13 cases with intraepithelial carcinoma and 2 cases associating an intraepithelial carcinoma with microinvasion. The majority of our cases were classified FIGO I and only one case FIGO III. Sixteen patients received conservative treatment and 30 received radical treatment. The treatment wasn't specified in three patients. The prognosis was good in the majority of cases. Only one patient had a contralateral recurrence after a follow-up period of three years. There were no significant differences regarding the risk of recurrence and risk factors such as age, gestation, hormonal status, FIGO stage and conservative treatment. We raised this part. Conclusion the prognosis of the ovarian MBT is good. However, it is necessary to multiply the samples to avoid missing a carcinomatous focus with an anarchic invasion of the stroma which constitutes a poor prognosis factor. It was changed by these sentences below: the diagnosis of MBT is not easy. Indeed, the distinction of MBT from carcinomas remains the greatest challenge for pathologists. Once this diagnosis is made with certainty, the tumor can be considered to have a good prognosis, especially stage I tumors which are the most common.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the anatomical distribution and intraoperative morphology of endosalpingiosis. DESIGN Retrospective observational video study. SETTING Data and intraoperative videos were reviewed by two independent reviewers at one referral center. The study was approved by the local ethics committee. PATIENT(S) A total of 77 patients with histologically proven endosalpingiosis from 2007-2020. INTERVENTION(S) None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) The primary endpoints were anatomical distribution and macroscopic phenotype. The secondary endpoints were demographic and clinical characteristics as well as associated diseases. RESULT(S) Of the 77 patients with endosalpingiosis, the mean age was 40.2 years (standard deviation, 16.4 years), mean body mass index 24.1 kg/m2 (standard deviation, 5.7 kg/m2), 59.7% (n = 46) were nulligravide, 70.1% (n = 54) nulliparous, 22.1% (n = 17) suffered of infertility, and 53.2% (n = 41) had at least one previous abdominal or vaginal surgery. Endometriosis was associated in 53.2 % (n = 41) and malignancies in 28.6% (n = 22, 7 endometrial cancers, 1 uterine carcinosarcoma, 8 borderline ovarian tumors, 5 epithelial ovarian cancers, and 1 yolk sac tumor of the ovary). Anatomic distribution and varying intraoperative phenotypes were demonstrated in the video presentation. CONCLUSION(S) In the majority of this population, endosalpingiosis was located in the pelvis. The higher prevalence of specific gynecologic tumors is consistent with previous results. In phenotype, most lesions appear to be less spectacular than prominent in the literature. For further studies on the relevance as a risk factor for malignancy and consequently clinical recommendations, sound knowledge about endosalpingiosis of laparoscopists as initial diagnosticians is crucial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epithelial borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) frequently occurs in young women. Because progression-free survival, overall survival, and reproductive function are important outcomes, BOT is often treated by fertility-sparing surgery (FSS). We conducted a Japan-wide study to understand post-FSS prognosis in relation to clinical characteristics and types of FSS performed. METHODS We analyzed clinical and outcome data pertaining to 531 adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients (aged 15-39 years) who underwent FSS for BOT between 2009 and 2013. RESULTS Median (range) age was 30 (15-39) years, and median observation time was 70 (2-120) months. The disease was of FIGO stage I in 492 (93%) patients. Histopathologically, tumors were of the mucinous (n = 372, 70%), serous (n = 120, 23%), seromucinous (n = 23, 4%), and other (n = 16, 3%) types. Five-year overall survival was 99.5% among patients with stage I and 100% among those with stage II-IV. Five-year progression-free survival was 96.7% and 69.3%, respectively. Multivariate analysis in cases of stage I showed a positive peritoneal cytology to be a significant risk factor for recurrence (HR, 5.199; p = 0.0188). The post-FSS pregnancy rate was relatively low for patients aged ≥30 years (OR, 0.868; 95% CI, 1.16-3.00; p = 0.0090). CONCLUSION Post-FFS outcomes in terms of overall and progression-free survival are favorable, especially for AYA patients with stage I BOT. However, the relapse rate is high for patients with FIGO stage II-IV and for those with stage I but a positive peritoneal cytology. A long-term prospective observation is needed before reproductive outcomes can be fully established.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOT) represent about 10 to 20 percent of all epithelial tumors of the ovary. They constitute intermediate lesions between benign ovarian cysts and invasive carcinomas. They often occur in young women of reproductive age, and, albeit with a favorable prognosis, it may recur on the ipsilateral or contralateral ovary. Controversies surround the diagnostic criteria used for their assessment, and the optimal management to minimize their risk of recurrence and/or transformation into malignant carcinoma. Fertility preservation (FP) is considered a priority in the management of these patients, and studies aim at finding the safest and most effective way to help women with BOT history conceive with minimal risk. We present the experience of a single institution in managing three cases of serous BOT in young nulliparous women, followed by a thorough review of the existing literature, highlighting controversies and exploring the possible FP techniques for these women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of cystectomy for borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) on tumor recurrence compared with salpingo-oophorectomy using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). METHODS A central pathologic review and a search of the medical records from 14 collaborating institutions from 1986 to 2017 identified 4708 women with a malignant ovarian neoplasm. Data for young women with Stage I BOT were extracted. To compare recurrence-free survival between the surgery groups, Cox regression analyses and the IPTW-adjusted Kaplan-Meier method were employed. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 62.0 (1.2-270.4) months, 10 of the 285 patients identified (3.5%) developed recurrence. In multivariate analysis, the practice of cystectomy was not a significant prognostic indicator of recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] 1.276 [0.150-10.864]; P = 0.823). In the IPTW-adjusted cohort, the 5-year recurrence-free survival rates were 95.8% and 96.0% in patients receiving cystectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy, respectively (P = 0.378). CONCLUSION If patients are selected appropriately, cystectomy in itself may not increase tumor recurrence in young women with early-stage BOT. A large-scale prospective clinical study is necessary to validate this finding.

Abstract
Objective: This retrospective study analyzed the factors affecting recurrence in patients after surgery with borderline ovarian tumors and postoperative recurrence and pregnancy after fertility-sparing surgery (FSS), to provide guidance for clinical treatment of borderline ovarian tumors and propose a therapeutic strategy for fertility protection. Methods: A total of 415 patients with borderline ovarian tumors were initially operated on in the gynecology ward of Shengjing Hospital Affiliated with China Medical University from September 1, 2013, to September 1, 2019. Central pathology review and prospective follow-up were carried out. The clinical and pathological data were consulted through the medical record query system of our hospital. The recurrence and pregnancy of the patients were investigated through telephone follow-up and outpatient and inpatient medical records. The influence of clinical and pathological variables on recurrence and pregnancy were evaluated using univariate/multivariate analyses. Results: In this study, 415 patients were collected, of which 21 lost follow-up, and a total of 394 eligible patients were included in the analysis. Among these patients, 25 patients relapsed with a recurrence rate of 6.3% and there were 196 patients with fertility-sparing surgery, of the 63 patients attempting to conceive, 35 were able to attain pregnancy with a pregnancy rate of 55.6%. All patients survived until the follow-up deadline. In univariate and multivariate analyses, FSS, FIGO stage, and micropapillary pattern were independent risk factors for recurrence of BOTs. FIGO stage, micropapillary pattern were independent risk factors for recurrence of BOTs with FSS. The risk of recurrence was not related to omentectomy nor postoperative chemotherapy. While omentectomy and chemotherapy had an impact on the pregnancy rate (P <0.05) and the pregnancy rate of patients without omentectomy or chemotherapy was higher. Conclusion: Omentectomy did not affect recurrence and it is not recommended as a routine operation. Adjuvant chemotherapy does not reduce the recurrence rate. While omentectomy and chemotherapy had an impact on the pregnancy rate, and both of them should be carried out more carefully in patients with fertility requirements.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) belong to a group of tumors that are distinctly different from ovarian carcinomas. There is an increased risk of BOTs in patients with pelvic inflammatory disease. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been detected in ovarian cancer tissue specimens. This virus favors the inflammatory milieu by inducing expression of the potent inflammatory factor 5-lipoxygenase (5LO), which stimulates cellular viability, cellular proliferation and activates antiapoptotic signaling pathways. Here, we aimed to examine presence of HCMV and 5LO in BOTs. Expression levels of HCMV proteins (IE and pp65) and 5LO were examined in paraffin embedded BOT tissue sections by immunohistochemistry staining and HCMV immunoglobulin M and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were determined by serology in blood samples obtained from 15 patients with BOTs identified in a prospective study at Karolinska University Hospital. Extensive expression of HCMV-IE, pp65, and 5LO were detected in 87%, 40%, and 90% of examined BOT tissue sections, respectively. HCMV-IgG prevalence and antibody levels were significantly higher in patients with BOT compared to age matched healthy women (83.3% vs. 65,6%, respectively, p = .01). Whether HCMV can induce inflammation and affect the pathogenesis of BOTs should therefore be further investigated.

Abstract
AIM The predictive accuracy of frozen sections for borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) is suboptimal. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of BOTs and factors associated with an upgrade to a permanent pathological diagnosis of invasive carcinoma in patients diagnosed with BOTs by frozen section. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study between 2011 and 2018 at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (KCGMH). Two hundred and twenty-five records of eligible patients with a diagnosis of BOT by frozen section or permanent diagnosis were reviewed. Positive predictive value and the diagnostic accuracy of frozen sections were calculated. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the clinicopathological factors associated with an upgrade of the diagnosis from a borderline tumor to malignancy. RESULTS The agreement between frozen section and permanent pathological diagnoses was 63.1%, and the positive predictive value was 72.1%. The multivariate analysis revealed that CA-125 level > 136 U/mL (odds ratio [OR] = 2.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.3-6.9; p = 0.012), and tumor histologic type (clear cell/endometrioid vs. mucinous; OR:32.8, 95% CI = 6.9-154.8, p < 0.001; clear cell/endometrioid vs. serous: OR 48.1, 95% CI = 8.8-261.8, p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for an upgrade of the permanent diagnosis from a BOT to ovarian carcinoma. CONCLUSION An elevated CA-125 level (over 136 U/mL) and tumor histologic type (clear cell and endometrioid subtypes) were associated with an upgrade in the diagnosis of ovarian tumor from a BOT on frozen section to a permanent diagnosis of malignancy.

Abstract
Ovarian Brenner tumors, accounting for ∼5% of overall ovarian epithelial neoplasm, are often reported in association with mucinous neoplasm. Histogenetically, the two tumors are thought to arise from similar precursors. To date, fewer than 60 borderline Brenner tumors alone have been reported, and the concomitant presence of atypical proliferative components in Brenner and mucinous tumors is even rarer. Therefore, the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with the borderline Brenner tumors alone or coexisting with mucinous neoplasm are extremely limited. Herein, we report a unique case of a 53-year-old woman with a unilateral ovarian borderline Brenner tumor associated with focal atypical mucinous epithelial proliferation and her clinical presentations. The clinicopathological features of the tumor are documented and the literature review along with the clinical molecular advances are summarized in this study.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to establish a predictive model for lymph node involvement (LNI) in patients with borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) using clinicopathological factors. Patients and Methods We collected clinical data from consecutive patients who underwent lymphadenectomy for BOT between 2001 and 2018 and analyzed their clinicopathological features. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify all independent risk factors associated with LNI; these were then incorporated into the prediction model. Results In total, we included 248 patients with BOT who were undergoing lymphadenectomy. These were divided into a training cohort (n=174) and a validation cohort (n=74). When considering histopathological data, 16 and 5 patients were identified to have LNI in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Overall, 13.5% (21/156) patients with serous BOT had LNI while 0% (0/92) patients with non-serous BOT had LNI. We identified several predictors of LNI: the largest tumor being ≥ 12.2cm in diameter, the presence of lesions on the ovarian surface, and the presence of pelvic or abdominal lesions. We created a prediction model and nomogram that incorporated these three risk factors for serous BOT. The model achieved good discriminatory abilities of 0.951 and 0.848 when predicting LNI in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The LNI-predicting nomogram had an area under curve (AUC) of 0.951 and generated well-fitted calibration curves. Conclusion Non-serous BOT may not require lymphadenectomy as part of surgical staging. The individual risk of LNI in patients with serous BOT can be accurately estimated using our prediction model and nomogram. The use of LNI criteria provides a practical way to support the clinician in making an optimal decision relating to surgical scope for patients with BOT.

Abstract
Ovarian carcinoma is the second most common malignant tumor of the female reproductive system and an notable cause of cancer death. The detection and diagnosis of early ovarian carcinomas are still clinical challenges, which calls for imaging studies using early ovarian carcinoma animal models. The present study aimed to optimize the 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-induced model of rat ovarian tumors by investigating the delivery methods, induction dose and time of DMBA exposure, and explored the morphological features of tumors using MRI. Three schemes were performed. In scheme one the ovary was covered with absorbable hemostatic gauze loaded with a high concentration of liquid DMBA. For this scheme, 150 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups depending on the DMBA dose (1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mg). In scheme two DMBA solution was injected under the ovarian capsule. For this scheme, 159 rats were divided into 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg DMBA groups. In scheme three the ovary was covered with absorbable gauze loaded with a high concentration of solid DMBA. For this scheme 161 rats were divided into 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mg DMBA groups. Each group of the three schemes was further subdivided into 60-, 90-, 120-, 150- and 180-day groups. In scheme two, the tumor formation rate was 75.6% (99/131), which was the highest in the 1.5 mg group (86.4%, 38/44) and reached 100% (10/10) on day 120. The induced tumors were serous in 93.9% (93/99) of tumors. Borderline ovarian tumors accounted for 19.2% (19/99) of all tumors, and ovarian cancer accounted for 46.5% (46/99). The mean maximum diameter (MMD) of borderline ovarian tumors was 10.29±3.41 mm, and that of ovarian cancer was 15.19±7.10 mm. MMD of the solid components increased with increasing malignancy. Cystic, cystic-solid and solid tumors were observed. The ovarian subcapsular injection of 1.5 mg DMBA was the best scheme for the rat ovarian tumor model. The present model is ideal for investigating the occurrence, development and imaging of ovarian tumors.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) refers to a distinct tumor of the ovary of epithelial origin and typically has a favorable prognosis. However, these tumors are not exempt from risks of recurrence and malignant transformation, which can arise from the remaining ovarian tissue, peritoneal implants, or distant localization. Here, we report a case of a mucinous BOT with multiple pulmonary cystic nodules without evidence of pulmonary metastasis even after two fine needle biopsies. Staging surgery was performed, and no evidence of peritoneal implants or invasion to adjacent organs found. At the end of the 7-year monitored follow-up after surgery, the pulmonary lesions were found to be increased in size. The transbronchial lung biopsy and pleural biopsy confirmed transformation into malignant mucinous adenocarcinoma with pleural metastasis. In the current case, we observed potential pulmonary metastasis of the BOT with malignant transformation and a latency as long as 7 years, which reminds us that multiple pulmonary cystic changes in patients with BOTs should be screened carefully to evaluate the pulmonary involvement of BOTs and potentially false-negative results after fine needle biopsy. Thus, a thorough check-up for complete staging of the disease and a close long-term follow-up to monitor potential recurrence and malignant transformation are advised.

Abstract
Objectives To compare the surgical, pathological and oncological outcomes of single-port access (SPA) laparoscopy against laparotomy for large ovarian tumor (>15 cm) suspected to be a borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) on preoperative imaging. Methods A retrospective review of the patients who underwent SPA laparoscopy (SPA Group) or laparotomy (Laparotomy Group) for suspected BOT was performed. Surgical outcomes, including the rates of iatrogenic spillage of tumor contents, and oncological outcomes, such as recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS), were compared between the two groups. Correlation between intraoperative frozen section analysis and permanent pathology results was also assessed. Results A total of 178 patients underwent surgical treatment for suspected large BOT. Among them, 105 patients with a mean tumor diameter of 20.9 ± 6.5 cm underwent SPA laparoscopy, and the other 73 patients, with a mean tumor diameter 20.2 ± 5.9 cm, underwent laparotomy. The mean operation time did not differ between the two groups (99.1 ± 41.9 min for SPA Group vs. 107.3 ± 35.7 min for Laparotomy Group, p = 0.085). There was no difference in the occurrence of iatrogenic spillage of tumor contents between the groups either (11.4% in the SPA Group vs. 6.8% in the Laparotomy Group, p = 0.381). However, the postoperative complication rates were significantly higher in the Laparotomy Group compared with SPA Group (16.4% vs. 5.7%, p = 0.025). The surgical approach was not associated with the misdiagnosis rates of frozen section analysis (19% in the SPA Group vs. 26% in the Laparotomy Group, p = 0.484). The most common histologic type of the tumors was mucinous in both groups. Conclusion SPA laparoscopy is feasible, safe, and not inferior to laparotomy for surgical treatment of large ovarian tumors that suspected to be BOT on preoperative imaging.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) represent around 15% of all epithelial ovarian cancer. Around one third of those patients is under 40 and has not completed childbearing when the tumor is diagnosed. Cancer survivors are more and more concerned about their future fertility since a large proportion of those with BOTs are young. Whatever the tumor stage, information regarding future fertility after treatment and fertility preservation (FP) options must be delivered to all patients before treatment. A multidisciplinary team will discuss and propose personalized treatment and FP strategies. Nowadays, the FP options offered to patients with BOT are the followings: i) minimal invasive conservative surgery, ii) oocyte cryopreservation after controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) or in vitro maturation (IVM) and iii) ovarian tissue cryopreservation. Generally, the most common strategy to preserve future fertility is represented by minimal invasive conservative surgery. However, with the remarkable success and evolution of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) - notably progress and efficiency in COS and oocyte vitrification - have led to offer another potential approach for FP consisting in oocyte cryopreservation. Several COS protocols, such as random start or dual stimulation associating tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors with gonadotropins provide similar results when compared to standard protocols while providing safety by minimizing the risk of high estrogen exposure. When COS is contraindicated, oocyte cryopreservation can still be possible throw IVM. Even though, oocyte competence after IVM is lower than that obtained after COS. A less used approach is cryopreservation of ovarian tissue, consisting in freezing ovarian cortex fragments for a future thawing and graft. Some concerns and limitations regard the ovarian cortex graft and the risk of reintroducing malignant cells once performed. Nonetheless, the latter it is the only option in prepubertal patients.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are a type of low malignant potential tumor that is typically associated with better outcomes than ovarian cancer. Indeed, its 10-year survival rate is as high as 95%. However, there is a small subset of patients who experience relapse and eventually die. It has been shown that the prognosis of BOTs was based on pathological diagnosis, the age at diagnosis, pre-operative carbohydrate antigen 125 level, invasive implants, and micropapillary patterns. Now the molecular-targeted therapy and molecular-genetic diagnosis have developed into a form of precision medicine. Recent studies on extensive molecular characterizations and molecular pathological mechanisms of BOTs have helped us understand the genomic landscapes of BOTs, and therefore BOTs could be reclassified into biologically and clinically more accurate and effective subtypes. The purpose of this review is to summarize current status for the diagnosis and treatment of BOTs and to describe the research progress on molecular pathologies, with a goal of providing a theoretical perspective for the diagnosis and treatment of BOTs.

Abstract
Background Few screening markers for malignant transformation in borderline ovarian tumors (BOT) have been clearly established. The kinase noncatalytic C-lobe domain containing 1 (KNDC1), a brain-specific Ras guanine nucleotide exchange factor, negatively regulates dendrite growth. However, the biological role and underlying mechanism of KNDC1 in human cancers, including ovarian cancer (OC), remain unknown. Methods Gene chip screening was used to detect the expression of KNDC1 mRNA in normal ovarian tissues, BOT tissues, and OC tissues. And results were further validated by RT-qPCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. KNDC1 overexpression and knockdown ovarian cancer cells were established to study the possible pathways that KNDC1 was involved. The effects of KNDC1 on the malignant behaviors of ovarian tumors were also investigated both in vitro and in vivo. Results We observed that the expression of KNDC1 mRNA and KNDC1 protein in OC was significantly downregulated compared with BOT. Subsequent investigation revealed that knockdown of KNDC1 enhanced the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells in vitro via induction of ERK1/2 phosphorylation, whereas reinforcing the expression of KNDC1 attenuated the ERK1/2 activity. Similarly, knockdown of KNDC1 also promoted cell proliferation in vivo. Survival analysis showed that lower KNDC1 predicted a poor progression-free survival (PFS) for patients. Conclusion Collectively, we conclude that KNDC1 might function as a tumor suppressor in ovarian tumors, inhibiting the proliferation of ovarian cells by suppressing ERK1/2 activity and hindering the malignant transformation of BOT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe and evaluate the utility of a new sonographic microcystic pattern, which is typical of borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) papillary projections, solid component(s) and/or septa, as a new ultrasound marker that is capable of distinguishing BOT from other adnexal masses, and to present/obtain histologic confirmation. METHODS In this retrospective study, we identified women with a histologic diagnosis of BOT following surgical resection who had undergone preoperative transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) examination. All images were reviewed for presence or absence of thin-walled, fluid-filled cluster(s) of 1-3-mm cystic formations, associated with solid component(s), papillary projections and/or septa. From the same cases, histopathologic slides of each BOT were examined for presence of any of these microcystic features which had been identified on TVS. To confirm that the microcystic TVS pattern is unique to BOTs, we also selected randomly from our ultrasound and surgical database 20 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer and 20 cases of benign cystadenoma, for review by the same pathologists. To confirm the novelty of our findings, we searched PubMed for literature published in the English language between 2010 and 2018 to determine whether the association between microcystic tissue pattern and BOT has been described previously. RESULTS Included in the final analysis were 62 patients (67 ovaries) with preoperative TVS and surgically confirmed BOT on pathologic examination. The mean patient age at surgery was 39.8 years. The mean BOT size at TVS was 60.7 mm. Of the 67 BOTs, 47 (70.1%) were serous, 15 (22.4%) were mucinous and five (7.5%) were seromucinous. We observed on TVS a microcystic pattern in the papillary projections, solid component(s) and/or septa in 60 (89.6%) of the 67 BOTs, including 46 (97.9%) of the 47 serous BOTs, 11 (73.3%) of the 15 mucinous BOTs and three (60.0%) of the five seromucinous BOTs. On microscopic evaluation, 60 (89.6%) of the 67 samples had characteristic 1-3-mm fluid-filled cysts similar to those seen on TVS. In seven cases there was a discrepancy between sonographic and histologic observation of a microcystic pattern. The 20 cystadenomas were mostly unilocular and/or multilocular and largely avascular. None of them or the 20 epithelial ovarian malignancies displayed microcystic characteristics, either on TVS or at histology. On review of 23 published articles in the English medical literature, containing 163 sonographic images of BOT, we found that, while all images contained it, there was no description of the microcystic tissue pattern. CONCLUSION We report herein a novel sonographic marker of BOT, a 'microcystic pattern' of BOT papillary projections, solid component(s) and/or septa. This was seen in the majority of both serous and mucinous BOT cases. Importantly, based on comparison of sonographic images and histopathology of benign entities and malignancies, the microcystic appearance seems to be unique to BOTs. No similar description has been published previously. Utilization of this new marker should help to identify BOT correctly, discriminating it from ovarian cancer and benign ovarian pathology, and should ensure appropriate clinical and surgical management.

Abstract
Background Apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) measured using different regions of interest (ROIs) are widely used in differentiating ovarian tumors. Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of ADCs with different ROIs in differentiating borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) from malignant ovarian tumors (MOTs). Material and Methods Thirty-five BOTs and 54 MOTs who underwent diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were evaluated retrospectively. ADC values were independently measured using five ROI methods: round; rectangle; hot-spot; edge drawing; and five sample ROIs. The inter- and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), one-way analysis of variance, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and unpaired t-tests were used to perform the statistical analyses. Results The measurement reproducibility of the minimum ADC and mean ADC values were good or excellent for BOTs and MOTs (ICC = 0.70–0.95). The minimum and mean ADC value by the edge drawing ROI were significantly higher than those of the other ROI methods (both P < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of the minimum ADC value was less than that of the mean ADC value from the five ROI methods, whereas the AUCs of the mean ADC values from the round ROI and five sample ROIs were significantly larger than those of the other ROI methods ( P < 0.05). The minimum and mean ADC values from the five ROI methods showed significant differences between BOTs and MOTs (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The ROI shape influences the diagnostic performance of ADC value for differentiating BOTs from MOTs. The mean ADC values from the round ROI and five sample ROIs have better diagnostic efficiency.

Abstract
Serous cystadenofibromas are uncommon benign ovarian lesions, consisting of both fibrous and epithelial components, that are usually cystic but may contain solid or papillary architecture that can be confused with a malignancy on imaging. Papillary architecture seen on frozen section may also falsely steer the pathologist in the direction of a diagnosis of a borderline serous tumor. Overcalling the lesion may lead to more aggressive surgery than necessary, so extensive tissue sampling and consideration of this entity is important in possibly avoiding this mistake.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian neoplasms are a heterogeneous group including tumor subsets with distinct clinicopathologic and molecular features. Recent evidence from molecular and genomic studies suggests that whereas low-grade serous carcinomas and high-grade serous carcinomas likely develop on two separate pathways, the low-grade serous carcinomas and serous borderline ovarian tumors may represent various stages of the same developmental continuum. The transformation of borderline ovarian tumors into an invasive neoplasm is associated with an array of molecular changes, inter alia controlled by p53 and PI3K/Akt pathway, as well as with a decrease in E-cadherin expression. The latter implies that epithelial-mesenchymal transition is a critical determinant of borderline ovarian tumor invasiveness. The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of transcription factors involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition: SNAIL, SLUG, TWIST 1, TWIST 2, ZEB 1, and ZEB 2 in borderline tumors and type I ovarian cancers. The study included tissue specimens from 42 patients with histopathologically verified ovarian masses. The expressions for SLUG, TWIST 1, ZEB1, and ZEB 2 were scored based on the nuclear staining, and the expressions of SNAIL and TWIST 2 based on the cytoplasmic and/or nuclear staining. The proportions of ovarian tumors with the immunoexpression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition transcription factors were 85.7% for SNAIL, 100% for SLUG, 9.5% for TWIST 1, 95.2% for TWIST 2, 23.8% for ZEB 1, and 0% for ZEB 2. The expression patterns of SNAIL, SLUG, TWIST, and ZEB identified in this study suggest that both serous borderline ovarian tumors and type I ovarian cancers undergo dynamic epithelial-mesenchymal interconversions. Our findings obtained in the two groups of tumors which shared some etiopathogenic pathways imply that the expression of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition transcription factors may be activated at early stages of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and thus these molecules may play a pivotal role in the development of both serous borderline ovarian tumors and type I ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Objective: First, to evaluate the sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) of intra-operative frozen section (FS) diagnosis in borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs), and to explore the factors affecting the diagnostic accuracy. Second, to assess the clinical outcomes of misdiagnosed BOT patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of all patients diagnosed as BOT through FS or paraffin section (PS) at Qilu Hospital between January 2005 and December 2015. Clinical and pathologic data were extracted. Univariate analysis was performed using standard two-sided statistical tests. We also performed a meta-analysis to further validate the findings. Results: In our retrospective study, 155 patients were included. Agreement between FS and PS diagnosis was observed in 127/155 (81.9%) patients, yielding a sensitivity of 92.7% and a PPV of 87.6%. Under-diagnosis and over-diagnosis occurred in 22 cases (14.2%) and 6 cases (3.9%), respectively. In our univariate analysis of our retrospective study, tumor size (p=0.048) and surgery approach (p=0.024) were significantly associated with misdiagnosis. The pooled analysis of 13 studies including 1,577 patients indicated that the accuracy (69.2%), sensitivity (82.5%), and PPV (81.1%) were low; also under-diagnosis (20.2%) and over-diagnosis (10.5%) were frequent. The meta-analysis results showed that mucinous histology (p < 0.0001, OR=2.03 [1.47-2.81]) and unilateral tumors (p=0.001, OR=2.39 [1.41-4.06]) were associated with the misdiagnosis of BOT. In our retrospective study, there was no statistical significance of clinical outcome such as extent of surgery (p=0.838), recurrence (p=0.586), fertility (p=0.560), death (p=0.362) between misdiagnosed and accurately diagnosed BOT patients. Conclusions: FS analysis of BOTs has low accuracy, sensitivity, and PPV. Under-diagnosis and over-diagnosis are frequent. Meta-analysis results verify that mucinous histology and unilateral tumors are associated with misdiagnosis of FS. Nevertheless, misdiagnosed patients have a good clinical outcome despite the high frequency of misdiagnosis through FS.

Abstract
Objective To explore the optimal treatment options for women with borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs). Materials and Methods The medical records of consecutive patients with BOTs in two academic institutions were retrospectively collected. The pertinent data, including clinicopathological characteristics and, treatment and prognostic information were evaluated. Results A total of 281 cases of BOTs were included in this analysis. For the entire series, the 5- year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 91.8% and 98.5%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, reservation of the ipsilateral ovary (HR: 0.104 [95% CI, 0.036–0.304], p = 0.000) and FIGO stage II–III (HR: 6.811 [95% CI, 2.700–17.181], p = 0.000) were the independent risk factors for recurrence. Ovarian surface involvement (HR: 64.996 [95% CI, 4.054–1041.941], p = 0.003) was the only independent prognostic factor for OS. Lymphadenectomy and adjunct chemotherapy had no significant impact on patients’ recurrence and survival (recurrence: p = 0.332 and 0.290, respectively, survival: p = 0.896 and 0.216, respectively). Conclusions Fertility-sparing surgery with healthy ovarian preservation seems safe and feasible for young women who prefer fertility-sparing treatment. Ovarian cystectomy to conserve the affected ovary/ovaries without ovarian surface involvement may be cautiously performed under fully informed consent for young women with bilateral BOTs who strongly prefer fertility-sparing treatment and have no evidence of infertility. However, long-term follow-up is necessary due to the relapse susceptibility of the ovary.

Abstract
Ectopic adrenal tissue in the ovary is a rare entity. We reported a case of ectopic adrenal tissue in borderline mucinous cystadenoma of the left ovary. A 22 year-old student presented with progressive abdomen distension associated with discomfort for 3 months. Imaging investigation was suggestive of mucinous left ovarian cyst. Left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and the histopathology revealed borderline mucinous cystadenoma with an incidental finding of ectopic adrenal tissue. This is an interesting case because of its rarity and potential risk of neoplasm changes.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) represent an independent group among ovarian malignancies, being diagnosed at clinical stage earlier than invasive ovarian carcinomas (OCs) and characterized by a rather favorable outcome after careful surgical management. Data published worldwide showed a substantial discordance of p53 expression in BOTs. The purpose of this work was to present the current status of knowledge on the significance of TP53 gene and p53 protein product alterations in BOTs. In general, higher p53 expression patterns were reported for ovarian malignancies compared to BOTs. Serous, mucinous, and endometrioid BOTs differ substantially in relation to p53 immunostaining, but data concerning the relationship between the protein's immunoreactivity and other clinico-pathological variables are scarce. Finally, reports published to date support the view that TP53 alterations may not be commonly associated with the borderline phenotype of ovarian tumors but they probably occur during the development of invasive OCs. In light of these uncertainties, the impact of TP53 alterations and p53 expression on overall survival in women affected by BOTs requires further multi-institutional studies in large cohorts of patients.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian tumors are a group of morphologically and genetically heterogeneous neoplasms. Based on differences in clinical phenotype and genetic background, ovarian neoplasms are classified as low-grade and high-grade tumor. Borderline ovarian tumors represent approximately 10%-20% of all epithelial ovarian masses. Various histological subtypes of ovarian malignancies differ in terms of their risk factor profiles, precursor lesions, clinical course, patterns of spread, molecular genetics, response to conventional chemotherapy, and prognosis. The most frequent genetic aberrations found in low-grade serous ovarian carcinomas and serous borderline tumors, as well as in mucinous cancers, are mutations in BRAF and KRAS genes. The most commonly observed BRAF mutation is substitution of glutamic acid for valine in codon 600 (V600E) in exon 15. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether fully integrated, real-time polymerase chain reaction-based Idylla™ system may be useful in determination of BRAF gene mutation status in codon 600 in patients with borderline ovarian tumors and low-grade ovarian carcinomas. The study included tissue specimens from 42 patients with histopathologically verified ovarian masses, who were operated on at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Nicolaus Copernicus University Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz (Poland). Based on histopathological examination of surgical specimens, 35 lesions were classified as low-grade ovarian carcinomas, and 7 as borderline ovarian tumors. Specimens with expression of BRAF V600E (VE1) protein were tested for mutations in codon 600 of the BRAF gene, using an automated molecular diagnostics platform Idylla™. Cytoplasmic immunoexpression of BRAF V600E (VE1) protein was found in three specimens: serous superficial papilloma, serous papillary cystadenoma of borderline malignancy, and partially proliferative serous cystadenoma. All specimens with the expression of BRAF V600E (VE1) protein were tested positively for BRAF V600E/E2/D mutation. No statistically significant relationship (p > 0.05) was found between the presence of BRAF V600E mutation and the probability of 5-year survival. BRAF mutation testing with a rapid, fully integrated molecular diagnostics system Idylla™ may be also a powerful prognostic tool in subjects with newly diagnosed serous borderline tumors, identifying a subset of patients who are unlikely to progress.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to build a model to differentiate between borderline and invasive ovarian tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective study involving 148 patients with borderline or invasive ovarian tumors in our institute between 1997 and 2012. Clinical and pathologic data were collected. Logistic regression was used to build the model. RESULTS The model was created based on the following variables (p < 0.05): menopausal status; preoperative serum level of cancer antigen 125; the greatest diameter of the tumor; and the presence of solid parts on ultrasound imaging. The sensitivity and specificity of the model were 94.6% [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.887-1] and 78.3% (95% CI, 0.614-0.952) for patients aged ≥ 50 years, and 76.0% (95% CI, 0.622-0.903) and 60.0% (95% CI, 0.438-0.762) for those aged < 50 years, respectively. The performance of the model was tested using cross-validation. CONCLUSION Differentiation between borderline and invasive ovarian tumors can be achieved using a model based on the following criteria: menopausal status; cancer antigen 125 level; and ultrasound parameters. The model is helpful to oncologists and patients in the initial evaluation phase of ovarian tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND fertility sparing surgery is the first option for treatment of childbearing age women affected by borderline ovarian tumor (BOT). This review put in evidence the benefits and the risks of conservative surgery procedure. Moreover, the literature review is aimed to analyze the possibility of fertility sparing surgery in BOTs and to define a standard treatment in the management of this pathology during pregnancy. METHODS systematic analysis of the relevant literature for fertility sparing during pregnancy for BOT, accessed through MEDLINE (1982-2015), bibliographies, and interactions with investigators. The data were assimilated into a rigorous and objective contemporary description, enriched by prospective, controlled, and evidence-based studies. RESULTS there are not many studies about BOT during pregnancy. It can reasonably assumed that after the diagnosis of a suspected BOT during the third trimester of pregnancy, an attitude of close surveillance could be adopted. To the best of our knowledge, we report the only case in literature focused about the treatment and management of borderline ovarian tumor relapse detected during pregnancy. CONCLUSION basing on our experience and on literature reported, the conservative management of BOT during gestation up to delivery could be considered feasible. The conservative debulking surgery should be performed at the time of cesarean section in a third referral center for gynecologic oncology.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the clinicopathological features and the survival time estimates in patients treated for borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs). A retrospective review of all patients treated for BOTs at the University of Bari (Bari, Italy) between 1991 and 2011 was performed. Data were obtained from hospital records and gynecological oncology charts. A total of 55 patients were identified. The median age was 40 years (range, 13-79 years). The majority of the patients (85.5%) exhibited International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO) stage I disease and the remainder exhibited FIGO stage II/III (7.3% in each stage). Serous histology was found in 60.0% of the cases and an elevation of the cancer antigen-125 serum level occurred in 23.6% of the cases. All patients underwent surgery and 3.7% received chemotherapy. In total, 10.9% exhibited recurrence and the median survival rate was 39 months. The median survival time and the five-year survival rate were 42 months (range, 16-84 months) and 97%, respectively. Therefore, BOTs have an excellent prognosis. Conservative surgery should be considered for patients of reproductive age who desire preservation of fertility. A long-term follow-up is highly recommended for these tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE According to the recent theories on the ovarian cancer origin, any protective effect of tubal ligation may vary with histologic subtype of ovarian cancer. Furthermore, bilateral salpingectomy may represent an opportunity for surgical prevention of serous ovarian cancer. DESIGN Nationwide register-based case-control study. SETTING Denmark during 1982-2011. POPULATION Cases were all Danish women diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer (n = 13 241) or borderline ovarian tumor (n = 3605) in the study period. Age-matched female population controls were randomly selected by risk set sampling. We required that cases and controls have no previous cancer and that controls have no previous bilateral oophorectomy. METHODS Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals, adjusting for potential confounders. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Epithelial ovarian cancer and borderline ovarian tumors stratified according to histology. RESULTS Tubal ligation reduced overall epithelial ovarian cancer risk (odds ratios 0.87; 95% confidence interval 0.78-0.98). We observed significant risk variation according to histology (p = 0.003) with the strongest risk reductions associated with endometrioid cancer (odds ratios 0.66; 95% confidence interval 0.47-0.93) and epithelial ovarian cancer of "other" histology (odds ratios 0.60; 95% confidence interval 0.43-0.83). Tubal ligation was not associated with risk of borderline ovarian tumors. Finally, bilateral salpingectomy reduced epithelial ovarian cancer risk by 42% (odds ratios 0.58; 95% confidence interval 0.36-0.95). CONCLUSIONS We confirmed that tubal ligation reduces the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer and particularly endometrioid cancer. To our knowledge, this is the first observational publication to report on salpingectomy and ovarian cancer risk and our promising findings warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumors represent a heterogeneous group of noninvasive tumors of uncertain malignant potential with characteristic histology. They occur in younger women, are present at an early stage, and have a favorable prognosis, but symptomatic recurrence and death may be found as long as 20 years after therapy in some patients. The molecular changes in borderline ovarian tumors indicate linkage of this disease to type I ovarian tumors (low-grade ovarian carcinomas). The pathological stage of disease and subclassification of extraovarian disease into invasive and noninvasive implants, together with the presence of postoperative macroscopic residual disease, appear to be the major predictor of recurrence and survival. However, it should be emphasized that the most important negative prognostic factor for recurrence is just the use of conservative surgery, but without any impact on patient survival because most recurrent diseases are of the borderline type-easily curable and with an excellent prognosis. Borderline tumors are difficult masses to correctly preoperatively diagnose using imaging methods because their macroscopic features may overlap with invasive and benign ovarian tumors. Over the past several decades, surgical therapy has shifted from a radical approach to more conservative treatment; however, oncologic safety must always be balanced. Follow-up is essential using routine ultrasound imaging, with special attention paid to the remaining ovary in conservatively treated patients. Current literature on this topic leads to a number of controversies that will be discussed thoroughly in this article, with the aim to provide recommendations for the clinical management of these patients.

Abstract
To evaluate the outcomes of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH)-in vitro fertilization (IVF) such as clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), implantation rate (IR) and live birth rate (LBR) for infertile patients with borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) after conservative treatment, 10 IVF cycles in five patients from January 1999 to July 2005 were analyzed. At the time of diagnosis with BOT, the mean age of patients was 30.0 yr (range, 22-40). For 8 cycles out of 10 attempted IVF cycles, except for 2 cancellation cycles, the mean number of oocytes retrieved was 5.6 (range, 2-16) with a mean fertilization rate of 74.4%. The CPR, IR, and LBR were 50.0% (4/8 cycles), 31.6% (6/19) and 50.0% (4/8 cycles) respectively. The mean follow-up period after COH-IVF initiation was 29.6 (range, 14-61) months. A gynecological oncologist followed all patients every 3 months during the first year and every 6 months thereafter. There was no recurrence during the follow-up period. Our results suggest that COH-IVF may be acceptable for infertile patients with BOT, especially in patients with early-stage BOT after conservative treatment.
