Serous borderline tumour is a Muellerian epithelial ovarian tumour with a behaviour that borders on malignant.

It is also known as serous tumour of low malignant potential, abbreviated SLMP.[1][2]

Serous ovarian tumour of low malignant potential redirects here.[2]

General

  • Usually benign.
  • Require long term follow-up.

Microscopic

Features:[3]

  • Cuboidal to columnar epithelium with mild to moderate atypia.
  • Non-invasive.
  • "Sparse" mitoses.
  • +/-Psammoma bodies.
  • +/-Micropapillary architecture - often described as a medusa head pattern.

Subclassification

Typical subdivided into:[5]

  • Micropapillary serous borderline tumour.
  • Typical serous borderline tumour (SBOT).

Cyst and Right Fallopian Tube, Excision:
- SEROUS BORDERLINE TUMOUR with micropapillary architecture, see comment.
- Fallopian tube within normal limits.
- NEGATIVE for evidence of invasion.

Comment:
The lesion appears to be confined to a cystic structure.
