Borderline tumours of the ovary (BOTs) are rare tumour entities that do not show any destructive or invasive growth in the majority of cases, even though they can display characteristics of malignant tumours The mucinous subtype can also originate from the appendix, and ovarian metastases can mimic primary ovarian BOTs, often accompanied by peritoneal manifestation in terms of pseudomyxoma peritonei. In cases where a concomitant appendiceal tumour is present, it may prove difficult to determine the primary tumour. This report describes a special case of BOT with a specific example of the complexity of the differential diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei. Especially the case was simultaneously linked to appendiceal and ovarian cancer. Moreover, this case was exceptional for its unusual manifestation of BOT in the cervix.
卵巢交界性肿瘤（BOT）是一种罕见的肿瘤实体，在大多数情况下，它们没有任何破坏性或侵袭性的生长，尽管它们可能表现出恶性肿瘤的特征。粘液性亚型也可能起源于阑尾，卵巢转移瘤可以模拟原发性卵巢 BOT，常伴有腹膜假性黏液瘤的腹膜表现。在存在阑尾肿瘤的情况下，可能难以确定原发性肿瘤。本报告描述了一例具有特殊表现的 BOT 病例，特别说明了腹膜假性黏液瘤鉴别诊断的复杂性。特别是该病例同时与阑尾和卵巢癌有关。此外，该病例还具有宫颈 BOT 罕见表现的特殊性。
