Abstrakt: Background: Borderline ovarian tumors have both benign and malignant characteristics with no stromal invasion. These tumours are found in the reproductive age. These tumours are unilateral in 80% cases and bilateral in 20% cases. Serous and mucinous subtypes are common. The prognosis of patients with borderline tumours is good with a relapse rate of 5-33%. We are reporting three cases of borderline ovarian neoplasm, who presented with abdominal pain and mass abdomen. The first girl was 13 years old with 20x15cm size nontender pelvic mass with normal Ca-125 level. The second girl aged 15 years presented with 15x10cm mass. Ca-125 was 48 IU. Both underwent oophorectomy and histopathology report showed a mucinous borderline tumor. Third patient 33 years old had 18x10cm mass in pelvis. She underwent hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy as her family was complete. Histopathology showed mucinous borderline tumour with invasive carcinoma. Patients were followed up in OPD. One patient lost follow up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
