title: [Border-line tumors of the ovary (histologic and cytologic features) (author's transl)].
abstract: The results of the treatments of the ovarian tumors are very different according to the numerous statistics. These discrepancies are linked with the difficulties in interpreting the histologic and cytologic criteria. Clinicians and pathologists are sensibilized by the severity of the ovarian cancer and carry out heavy therapies out of proportion with the potential evolution of the tumor. The aim of this work, which was presented at a meeting during the Assises d'anatomic pathologique (Brussels, 26-28 March 1981), is to specify the histologic and cytologic characters permitting to isolate the ovarian border-lesions which have a much better prognosis than the ovarian carcinomas grade I.
