Abstract

The ovary is a common location for endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrial glands outside the uterus. Research has established a link between ovarian endometriosis and the coexistence of borderline seromucinous tumors, which have a low malignant potential and exhibit papillary structures similar to serous borderline tumors. We present a case study of a unmarried, 23-year-old female who experienced spotting, pelvic pain, weakness, and fatigue for a month. Ultrasound examination revealed an enlarged and multiloculated ovary with elevated CA-125 levels. Following a right-sided oophorectomy, histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of borderline seromucinous tumor accompanied by endometriosis. This case supports the finding that borderline seromucinous tumors can occur simultaneously or subsequently with ovarian endometriosis
