Abstract

Twenty-one borderline ovarian tumour cases, diagnosed and treated in our oncology section between 1986 and 1996, were retrospectively analysed. Thirty-three percent of the cases had serous tumours and the rest (66.6%) were mucinous, 57.1% of the mucinous tumours were the intestinal type and the remaining 42.9% were the endocervical type.
