Brenner
tumors (BTs) are rare ovarian tumors which are a part of the epithelial stromal
tumor group of ovarian neoplasms. Most of the BTs are benign and usually
asymptomatic. BTs stand for the 1.4-2.5% of ovarian
tumors. Of the BTs, not more than 2% exhibit characteristics of borderline (or
malignant) BTs. Borderline BTs are usually bigger than benign BTs and
individuals typically represent with symptoms related with an unilateral
ovarian mass. BTs are often related with mucinous cystadenomas or seldomly
cystadenocarcinomas. We present a case of borderline BT associated with a
concomitant mucinous ovarian tumor.
