This paper is a systematic review aimed at summarizing all reported cases of primary peritoneal serous borderline tumors (PPSBT), including an additional case from the authors’ department, with emphasis on clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis. The authors searched PubMed for articles using multiple terminologies for PPSBT and included English and French-language reports. The key finding is that PPSBT is rare and can be detected incidentally during laparoscopy, where it can be difficult to distinguish from a primary ovarian serous borderline tumor with peritoneal implants, creating therapeutic uncertainty. The study is limited by reliance on published case reports/series and heterogeneous reporting across the included literature. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Primary peritoneal serous borderline tumors (PPSBT) are rare neoplasms that can present as an incidental finding at laparoscopy and raise concern regarding a primary ovarian tumor with peritoneal implants. The aim is to present an overview of all reported cases of PPSBT, including a case from our own department, with a focus on clinical presentation, diagnosis, therapeutic options, and prognosis. A search for articles containing various terminologies describing PPSBT was performed via PubMed. We included English and French language pu Metrics Downloads Views Additional indexing Creators (Authors) Volume Volume Volume Number Number Number Page range/Item number Page range/Item number Page range/Item number Page end Page end Page end Item Type Item Type Item Type In collections Dewey Decimal Classifikation Dewey Decimal Classifikation Dewey Decimal Classifikation Language Language Language Publication date Publication date Publication date Date available Date available Date available ISSN or e-ISSN ISSN or e-ISSN ISSN or e-ISSN OA Status OA Status OA Status Free Access at Free Access at Free Access at Publisher DOI Metrics Downloads Views Citations Pape, J., Samartzis, E.
