Abstract
This article represents the first observational study that describes the trend in the growth rate of borderline ovarian tumor recurrence in relation to their size detected at the first ultrasound examination. The findings of this study seem to confirm, in selected patients, that a thorough ultrasonographic follow-up of borderline ovarian tumor recurrence has proven to be safe and feasible. The final goal of such management is to maximize the impact on fertility potential of these young women without worsening their prognosis.
