| Abstrakt: | Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are tumors with low malignant potential and have an excellent prognosis. They are distinct by an epidemiological shift toward younger women. Fertility-sparing surgery is considered the gold standard in young patients presenting with BOTs. Spontaneous conception has been reported after conservative surgery with no enhanced risk of mortality or morbidity from disease progression during pregnancy. The prognosis of BOTs is very good; however, a small proportion of these tumors may recur and show malignant transformation. Timely follow-up of the patients is required for timely detection of any recurrence. We are presenting here a case of a 23-year-old woman diagnosed with BOT. The patient was nulliparous and hence was the appropriate candidate for fertility-sparing surgery. She underwent unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and is now on regular follow-up.
