Ovarian remnant syndrome (ORS), in which a portion of the ovary is retained following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO), is uncommon but can negatively impact patient management. Evaluation should be performed in a patient who has clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of ORS, especially in a premenopausal woman with breast cancer who is treated with an aromatase inhibitor following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO), or a woman with a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 or BRCA2 who undergoes BSO for ovarian cancer risk reduction.
