Background: Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) primarily affect women in childbearing years, which raises a concern for fertility in these women. Along with that, BOTs are hard to diagnose because they are mostly devoid of any symptoms. This case report addresses these challenges and evaluates the importance of suspecting BOT and opting for fertility preservation surgery to improve the patient’s life expectancy while preserving fertility at the same time. Conclusion: Most of the BOT cases are asymptomatic; and hence, they are easily misdiagnosed. Early consideration of BOT and opting for conservative surgeries, if possible, can not only save the life of the patient but also preserve her fertility. |
