Serous borderline ovarian tumors (sbot) generally occur in young women,present at early stages and are associated with an excellent prognosis. however,there are rare subtypes of sbot which may exhibit a more aggressive course. in contrast with other types of sbot,the micropapillary variant sbot (sbot-mp) tends to present at advanced stages. herein,we present a rare case of a sbot-mp that occurred in a 66-year-old woman,who had tumoral involvement on bilateral ovaries,sigmoid serosa and a positive peritoneal cytology. the currently recommended treatment options for these cases are also discussed. © 2011 by the turkish-german gynecological education and research foundation.
