Abstract
Borderline ovarian tumors account for 4% of ovarian neoplasms, an incidence which remains constant despite advancing age.1 Management for younger women can be unilateral oophorectomy,2 although simple hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is more appropriate for women beyond childbearing age.3 The authors report a laparoscopic approach to a case of borderline ovarian tumor.Keywords
