Clinical & Pathological Analysis Of Epithelial & Borderline Tumor Of The Ovary

Objective: To study the clinical and pathological characteristics of epithelial and borderline tumor of the ovary (OBT) for reference in clinical application. Methods: 20 patients with OBT by final diagnosis of pathological quick-frozen & paraffin sections were selected, who were all examined by ultrasound and the CA125 assay before operation. Results: Among the 20 OBT patients, mucous tumor was 8(40%) and serous tumors was 12(60%), most of which belonged to stage I .All the patient with OBT were treated by conservation operation and their prognoses were favorable. Compared with that of the paraffin section, the diagnostic accurate rate (DAR) of quick-frozen ones was 75%. Conclusion: OBT should be diagnosed by clinical symptoms, tumor markers and iconography, and a quick-frozen section during operation is helpful to the diagnosis. But the final diagnosis should mainly rely on the pathological sections; therefore, to raise the DAR of OBT, serial sections should be made.
