Abstract

MORALES-PALACIOS, Eulalio; VILLARREAL-PORTILLO, Daniel Armando  and  QUINTERO-CABRERA, José Eduardo. Borderline Brenner Tumor. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2016, vol.42, n.4, pp.530-536. ISSN 0138-600X.

Brenner tumor derives from the ovary surface and is similar to the transitional epithelium of the bladder. It is a rare tumor representing just 1.5 % of ovary neoplasies. The objective of this paper was to present a patient with histologically-confirmed borderline Brenner tumor and to make a literature review on the clinical and histopathological diagnosis of this disease and compare it with others. Here is a 88 years-old women who was performed laparatomy because of suspected complex cyst; her medical history and diagnosis was described and a literature review with emphasis on diagnosing process. A literature search was made by using Medline,OMIM y SciELO and terms ¨Brenner tumor¨ and ¨bordeline Brenner tumor¨ in Spanish and English regardless of year of publication. Ten articles were found about case reports and literature review; they describe the characteristics of clinical presentation, clinical diagnosis based on histopathological studies and general aspects of the disease. Borderline Brenner tumor is infrequent in Mexico and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ovary tumors.

Keywords : borderline Brenner tumor; clinical case; histopathological diagnosis.
