Abstract

Epithelial ovarian tumors are common in adult women, but rare in children. Mucinous cystadenoma (MCA) are rare, with only 16 cases in premenarchal girls reported to date. Low grade (borderline) tumors are even exceptionally rarer. To the best of our knowledge, only few cases of an ovarian borderline intestinal-type mucinous tumor in premenstrual girl have been reported in literature. We present a rare case of an ovarian mucinous borderline tumor in a thirteen year old girl. The histological features of low grade borderline tumors, rapid enlargement of the ovarian mass, the young age and the difficulty in diagnosis, make this case interesting for publication.
