| Popis: | The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical and pathological features and oncological outcomes of Brenner tumors (BT).Evaluation was performed on the data of 46 patients with BTs retrieved from the oncology clinic database and pathology reports between 2005 and 2020.The median (range) age of the patients was 52 (22-75) years. Median (range) tumor size was 52.5 (5.0-300) mm. The tumor was benign in 37 (80.4%), borderline in one (2.2%), and malignant in the remaining eight (17.4%). Ten (21.7%) of the tumors were detected incidentally. Mixed tumor, BT plus another ovarian pathology, was found in 13 (28.2%). Recurrence developed in 2/8 (25%) with malignant BT (MBT). The stage of these patients was 3C, and both received chemotherapy after surgery.BTs are rare and generally detected incidentally. MBTs are treated in the same way as epithelial tumors. Due to the rarity of these tumors, lymphadenectomy and optimal chemotherapy regimens are controversial issues. |
