Borderline Brenner tumor of the ovary with mucinous metaplasia: A case report.

Brenner tumor is a rare epithelial ovarian neoplasm responsible for 2%-3% of all ovarian tumors. These tumors are usually asymptomatic and can usually be found incidentally in pathological studies. They can also manifest themselves as abdominal pain or abnormal uterine bleeding. A 41-year-old female with a history of anemia referred to the hospital suffering from abdominal pain for at least 1 month before the referral period. Physical examination revealed a mobile palpable mass in the left lower abdomen. Ultrasound and pelvic computed tomography scan (CT scan) revealed a left ovarian complex cyst. Left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed on the patient, and the cyst was removed. Pathological findings revealed an atypical proliferative Brenner tumor with mucinous metaplasia. To date, there have been disparate reports regarding borderline forms of Brenner tumors, while research on concomitant mucinous proliferation is even more irregular; however, it has been observed that proper diagnosis and treatment have proven to have a favorable prognosis on the aforementioned tumor.
