Abstract

Paratubal cysts are almost always benign, with rare reports of paratubal serous borderline tumors (PSBT). Only 10 cases of PSBT have been reported in the literature. Their treatment in young patients relies on fertility-preserving surgery. Herein, the authors report a case of PSBT revealed by chronic pelvic pain.

Keywords: fallopian tube; paratubal borderline serous tumor; paratubal cyst; pathology.
