[Serous micropapillary invasive carcinoma. Case report on both ovaries].
A subject that has been very controvertial in the last few years in the field of the surgical pathology has been the terminology and the concept of borderline serous tumor of ovary (TSL). Recently the term of micropapillary serous carcinoma was introduced (CSMP) to define a subtype of serous tumors that are characterized for a micropapillary grow pattern and that clinically associated with a more aggressive behavior than the classic TSL since they have an increased risk of invasion, recurrence and extraovarian tumor implantation. The majority of these cases are included within the serous bordering tumors of ovary, being the truly invasive tumors even more infrequent and with more aggressive clinical course. We reported the case of a 52 years old woman with bilateral invasive micropapillary serous carcinoma of ovary.
