“…Mucinous ovarian tumors are rare in children <15 years of age with <50 cases reported in world literature [12345678910]. Majority of these are benign/borderline tumors with frequency of carcinoma still rarer with only twelve cases reported at a young age of <15 years [23457910] (Table 1).…”

Ovarian mucinous tumors in <15 years old are rare with <50 cases reported till date in the literature. Majority of them are benign or borderline epithelial ovarian tumors with only 12 cases of cystadenocarcinomas reported at a young age. We report a case of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma in 14-year-old girl with metastasis to omentum at the time of presentation. Management of such cases is tricky as conservative approach sparing fertility of the patient is adopted. This case is presented for its rarity and unique presentation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the thirteenth case of ovarian cystadenocarcinoma being reported at a very young age and the first case being reported from Indian subcontinent. Extensive review of the previously published cases in the literature has been done in this study.

“…Surgical treatment for borderline ovarian tumors resembles that for ovarian cancer. 7 Cystectomy has been shown to increase the chance of preserving fertility, but it is associated with a higher rate of recurrence than oophorectomy. 7 As with this case, a unilateral oophorectomy was performed, conserving the patient's fertility and virtually eliminating the chance of recurrence.…”

Mucinous borderline ovarian tumors (MBOTs) are a form of ovarian neoplasm that consists of both benign characteristics of a cystadenoma and malignant components of a cystadenocarcinoma. Currently, there are three accepted, synonymous terms that describe MBOTs: borderline, low malignant potential, and atypical proliferation. 1 Therefore, this type of tumor is classified as an intermediate phase between benign and malignant. Mucinous borderline ovarian tumors account for approximately 30% to 50% of ovarian epithelial borderline tumors and are estimated to make up 10% of mucinous ovarian tumors. 2,3 Mucinous borderline tumors are typically unilateral, but in about 5% of reported cases, they have been bilateral. 4 There are two forms of MBOTs depending on the type of epithelium from which it originated. The most common is the intestinal-type MBOT (I-MBOT) and, less commonly, the endocervical-type MBOT, also known as Mül-lerian type (M-MBOT) or seromucinous type. 2,5 Sonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) are all modalities used to evaluate MBOTs. For lesions indeterminate on sonography, MRI increases the specificity of imaging evaluation, thus decreasing benign resections, whereas CT is useful in the diagnosis and management planning of more advanced cancers. 6 The case reported below illustrates a patient with a mucinous borderline ovarian tumor and the diagnostic imaging tests used in the detection and diagnosis of the pathology. Sonography and MRI were key in this patient's diagnosis and treatment, in which sonographically the tumor was evaluated locally, and large-scale assessment was done with MRI. Case ReportA woman in her late teens presented to the emergency room with complaints of abdominal and pelvic pain. Upon the initial physical examination, she was found to have a protruding abdomen and appeared as if she could be pregnant, possibly in her late second to third trimester. Initially, a transabdominal pelvic sonogram was ordered. The patient stated she was not, nor had she ever been, sexually active; therefore, a pregnancy test was not done and an endovaginal sonographic examination was not included. Blood testing for markers such as CA125 or CA19-9 also was not done during the initial workup and evaluation. A curvilinear transducer with a center frequency of 4 MHz was used for this study on a GE Logiq E9 machine (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, New Jersey). AbstractVarious modalities of diagnostic imaging have been proven to be adequate in the characterization and diagnosis of ovarian neoplasms. This case study investigates a unique form of mucinous borderline ovarian tumor consisting of both intestinal and Müllerian types. Borderline tumors are considered an intermediate form of neoplasm between the benign and malignant form. Shortly after sonographic and magnetic resonance imaging, the large tumor was removed and the patient was determined to have an excellent prognosis. The utilization of sonography in diagnosing this tumor is discussed, demonstrating the significance of ...

“…In children, epithelial ovarian tumors are mostly benign in nature, comprising 15-20% of cases 1 and approximately 1-2% of all childhood malignancies. 2,3 An estimated incidence of ovarian neoplasms is 2.6 cases per 100,000 per year.…”

Malignant epithelial ovarian tumor is a rare entity in children. Especially, mucinous ovarian cystadenocarcinoma is exceedingly rare in pediatric age group, only a limited number of cases are reported in this age group till date with less than 5 cases reported in adolescence age in the literature. We describe a case of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma in a sixteen-year old postmenarchal girl presenting with complaints of abdominal distension and irregular periods from last three months. Management of such cases is tricky as conservative approach involving sparing fertility of the patient is adopted. This case is presented for its rarity and unique presentation.
