Seromucinous Borderline Tumor Derived from Endometriosis

A 36-year-old woman underwent medical examination for occasional abdominal distension 1 month ago. Ultrasound examination revealed an ovarian cyst, which was considered as endometrioid cyst. There was no abnormal vaginal bleeding, nausea, vomiting, and other discomfort. Serum tumor markers showed elevated CA125 (81.17 U/mL) and CA199 (195.7 U/mL) and normal HE4 (43.93 pmol/L) and CEA (1.06 ng/mL). Intraoperative findings: solid and cystic enlargement of the right ovary, about 5 cm × 4 cm × 3 cm in size, with membranous adhesion to the right posterior wall of uterus and lateral pelvic wall. Postoperative pathological result: (right ovary) seromucinous borderline tumor, originating from endometriosis.
