Abstract

Primary peritoneal borderline tumour is a rare lesion, histologically indistinguishable from non-invasive peritoneal implants found in association with ovarian tumours of borderline malignancy. We report a case of a primary peritoneal borderline tumour diagnosed in a 30-year-old patient with pelvic pain, infertility and elevated serum CA-125.
