Staging procedures in patients with mucinous borderline tumors of the ovary do not reveal peritoneal or omental disease

Because no extra-ovarian disease was found, staging procedures in the case of an mBOT may be omitted. However, the actual perioperative decision for staging or not should be taken in the context of a frozen section diagnosis, which is not always accurate and straightforward. Recurrence with malignant disease is rare after mBOT. The value of post-treatment surveillance seems limited after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
