title: Laparoscopically-assisted hysterectomy for the management of a borderline ovarian tumor: a case report.
abstract: Borderline ovarian tumors account for 4% of ovarian neoplasms, an incidence which remains constant despite advancing age. Management for younger women can be unilateral oophorectomy, although simple hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is more appropriate for women beyond childbearing age. The authors report a laparoscopic approach to a case of borderline ovarian tumor.
