Background: Borderline parovarian tumors are found incidentally at surgery or autopsy. They are extremely rare. The majority have been reported in young women and rarely are they large enough to be clinically significant.
Case: A 53-year-old multiparous female with a symptomatic paraovarian serous borderline cystadenoma is presented.
Discussion: The clinical aspects and subsequent management of related cases are discussed.
