Gynecol Obstet Invest. 1988;26(3):262-4. doi: 10.1159/000293704.

Abstract

A case of parovarian serous tumor of borderline malignancy inadvertently found during cesarean section in a 27-year-old multigravida is reported. Seventeen months after diagnosis there is no clinical evidence of disease. The histologic appearance of the tumor was identical with that of tumors of ovarian origin, however, whether its biologic behavior is similar as well is not known.
