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.
