title: [Borderline ovarian tumors: an epidemiologic, diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic study. Apropos of 20 cases reported at the Saint-Antoine Maternity Hospital].
abstract: Twenty cases of borderline ovarian tumors were seen in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the St. Antoine Hospital over 5 years. The epidemiological study of these 20 tumors, relative to 47 invasive ovarian carcinomas seen over the same period, shows that hypofertility is more prevalent and that patients are younger. Diagnosis rests mainly on the histological examination of the operative specimen. The overall prognosis is good but recurrences, which may be delayed, are possible. These patients, who are often young, may be managed conservatively, at the cost of prolonged follow-up, including cytologic and coelioscopic examinations.
