Int J Gynecol Pathol. 2017 Mar;36(2):195-199. doi: 10.1097/PGP.0000000000000304.

Abstract

Ovarian mucinous borderline tumors are traditionally divided into 2 morphologic groups: endocervical type, also known as seromucinous, and intestinal type. We present a case of stage 4B seromucinous ovarian borderline tumor with endometriosis and review the literature. At the time of writing, this is believed to be the first case of a seromucinous borderline tumor reported at such an advanced stage.
