Ovarian borderline tumors are a group of pathologic tumors that exhibit a higher proliferative activity when compared to benign tumors. Due to the absence of a screening method, ovarian cancer is often diagnosed when the patient already has a complaint, or at an advanced stage. A 24-year-old patient was diagnosed with cystic ovarian neoplasm, the results of physical examination and support support the possibility of malignancy. In this patient, a left salphingo-oophorectomy was chosen instead of cystectomy, this was done considering the size of the tumor mass was large enough so that the normal tissue of the ovary was estimated to be almost absent. From the results of the PA laboratory is cystadenoma multiloculare ovarii mucinosum borderline with this microinvation. The patient found massive ascites which could be classified as high risk. In high-risk stage I borderline ovarian tumors, laparotomy should include hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. However, because the patient still expects reproductive function, conservative surgery can be performed by only performing unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentum (left ovary and left tube), left inguinal gland and peritoneal rinses. Additional platinum-based chemotherapy such as carboplatine for 3-6 cycles may be indicated in high-risk patients such as this case. (left ovary and left tube) omentum, left inguinal gland and peritoneal rinses. Additional platinum-based chemotherapy such as carboplatine for 3-6 cycles may be indicated in high-risk patients such as this case.
