Laparoscopic management of benign serous neoplasia arising from persistent ovarian remnant.
Serous cystadenoma arising from ovarian remnant has not been reported in the literature. We report 3 cases with ovarian remnant syndrome that were treated with laparoscopic excision and were proven to be benign serous neoplasia with ovarian origin on final pathologic examination. We review the current evidence for malignant transformation potential of ovarian serous cystadenoma and discuss laparoscopic techniques for management of ovarian remnant syndrome.
