What are the hazards of borderline ovarian cystadenoma?

The problem of borderline ovarian cystadenoma is a disease that women should take precautions against, because as a gynecological disease, its impact and harm are becoming increasingly serious, and sometimes it can even lead to ascites. Although the probability of malignant lesions in this disease is relatively low, the harm it brings cannot be ignored, so we must understand its evidence and scientific prevention.

The concept of borderline ovarian tumors In 1961, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics proposed the diagnostic criteria for borderline tumors: that is, the epithelial cells of the cystadenoma proliferate actively, the cell nuclei are atypical, but there is no infiltration of tumor cell tissue into the stroma. This type was recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1973. It is generally believed that borderline tumors are potential or low-grade malignant tumors with a good clinical prognosis. As reported in the literature, the 5-year survival rate of serous tumors is 92% to 100%, and the 10-year survival rate is 75% to 90%, but local recurrence is prone to occur; the 5-year survival rate of mucinous tumors is 98%, and the 10-year survival rate is 96%. Pathological findings of borderline mucinous cystadenomas are that most tumors are multilocular, and the cut surface may show areas of thickened cyst wall or the presence of papillae, which may be flaky like velvet or may appear as wart-like protrusions or polyps due to repeated branching.

The tumors were large, with an average diameter of >15 cm, and most were bilateral. When the tumor capsule ruptures, tumor cells and mucus overflow, implant and grow, and may form a pseudomyxoma. CT manifestations: A large tumor in the pelvic area is a multilocular cystic mass with thin walls and uneven intervals. There is localized thickening of the cyst wall and nodular soft tissue masses protruding into the cyst. There is an enhancement effect, and the density of the fluid in the cyst is higher than that of water. Pseudomyxoma may form in the abdominal cavity.

The above is an introduction to borderline ovarian cystadenoma. I hope that through these introductions, everyone should pay attention to recognition and understanding in daily life. Only by taking the most scientific and effective prevention methods for this disease can we truly and effectively help us reduce the adverse effects and harm it brings.
