Abstract

Borderline ovarian Brenner tumors are rare malignancies mainly diagnosed after menopause. A first pregnancy after fertility-sparing surgery by laparoscopic unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was reported in a previous article. We now report the first baby birth after unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for a borderline ovarian Brenner tumor and a review of the literature.

Keywords: Brenner tumor; case report; childbirth; fertility preservation; ovarian neoplasm.
