Oncol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Primary peritoneal serous borderline tumor (PPSBT) is a rare, low-malignant-potential neoplasm arising from the peritoneum, diagnosed only after excluding ovarian involvement. While typically discovered incidentally during surgery, it often presents with infertility or abdominal pain in young women. Due to its favorable prognosis and the desire to preserve fertility, fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) is a critical consideration. We report a case of PPSBT in a reproductive-aged woman who underwent three FSS procedures, demonstrating the feasibility of this approach. Our findings support FSS as a viable option for PPSBT patients after thorough exclusion of ovarian malignancy. This case underscores the importance of comprehensive surgical staging and multidisciplinary evaluation to optimize oncological and reproductive outcomes. Further research is needed to standardize management strategies for this rare condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fonc.2025.1480730","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,29]],"date-time":"2025-05-29T04:12:50Z","timestamp":1748491970000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Fertility-sparing surgery in primary peritoneal serous borderline tumor: a case report"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Tingting","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongjing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-199003000-00004","article-title":"Serous borderline tumors of the peritoneum","volume":"14","author":"Bell","year":"1990","journal-title":"Am J Surg Pathol"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s42399-020-00232-0","article-title":"Primary peritoneal serous borderline tumors as a therapeutic challenge: a systematic review of the literature","volume":"2","author":"Janna","year":"2020","journal-title":"SN Compr Clin Med"},{"key":"B3","article-title":"Primary peritoneal borderline tumour: report of an unusual case","volume":"28","author":"Couto","year":"2007","journal-title":"Eur J Gynaecol Oncol"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/bjr\/26458228","article-title":"CT appearance of primary peritoneal serous borderline tumour: a rare epithelial tumour of the peritoneum","volume":"85","author":"Go","year":"2012","journal-title":"Br J Radiol"},{"key":"B5","article-title":"An incidental peritoneal serous borderline tumor during laparoscopy for endometriosis","volume":"30","author":"Tinelli","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur J Gynaecol Oncol"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2559.1993.tb00467.x","article-title":"Primary neoplasia of the female peritoneum","volume":"23","author":"Fox","year":"1993","journal-title":"Histopathology"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-199205000-00005","article-title":"Peritoneal serous micropapillomatosis of low Malignant potential (serous borderline tumours of the peritoneum): a clinicopathologic study of 17 cases","volume":"16","author":"Biscotti","year":"1992","journal-title":"Am J Surg Pathol"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"308","DOI":"10.1016\/S1028-4559(08)60043-1","article-title":"Primary peritoneal serous borderline tumor presenting as an \u2018adnexal torsion\u2019 gynecologic emergency","volume":"46","author":"Lin","year":"2007","journal-title":"Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"B9","first-page":"54","article-title":"Primary peritoneal borderline tumour: report of an unusual case","volume":"28","author":"Couto","year":"2007","journal-title":"Eur J Gynaecol Oncol"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01443610410001653371","article-title":"Primary borderline serous neoplasia of the peritoneum","volume":"24","author":"Gandhi","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Obstet Gynaecol"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19881115)62:10<2212::AID-CNCR2820621024>3.0.CO;2-W","article-title":"Peritoneal implants of ovarian serous borderline tumors.
