Borderline Brenner tumor of the ovary is a rare entity characterized by papillary structures with a fibro-vascular core, covered by a transitional epithelium, and by the absence of stromal infiltration. It is associated, by definition, with a benign component of Brenner tumor.
We report a case of a 68-year-old woman, with a right ovarian mass, whose morphology and immuno-profile were consistent with the diagnosis of a borderline Brenner tumor. Immunohistochemistry carried out on selected markers may help to formulate the diagnosis, more than the molecular analyses.
卵巢交界性布伦纳瘤是一种罕见的病变,其特征为具有纤维血管核心的乳头状结构,被移行上皮覆盖,且无间质浸润。根据定义,它与布伦纳瘤的良性成分相关。
我们报告一例68岁女性,有右侧卵巢肿块,其形态和免疫表型与交界性布伦纳瘤的诊断相符。对选定标志物进行的免疫组化检查可能比分子分析更有助于做出诊断。
