The diagnosis and treatment of Brenner tumors of the ovary: a typical report of one case and literature review

Objective: To explore the characteristics of diagnosis and treatment of Brenner tumors of the ovary. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of one case of ovarian borderline Brenner tumor typical case in the present hospital, combined with the related literature review, and an investigation of its diagnosis and treatment. Results: There were no special complaints of the patients on admission; however physical examination detected an abdominal mass, of large volume, complicated with uterine fibroids. Considering the older patient, she underwent abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Postoperative pathological examination showed left ovarian borderline Brenner tumor, with a good prognosis, notwithstanding malignancy and metastasis. Conclusion: Brenner tumor is a rare ovarian tumor, which is particularly borderline and malignant, however early diagnosis and treatment, and positive surgical resection with good prognosis, is beneficial to improve the survival rate while reducing the canceration rate.
