The clinical and pathological features of 25 serous @entity18660 of borderline @entity5 of the broad ligament were analyzed. The ages of the @entity1 ranged from 19 to 67 (average, 32) years. The clinical presentation was lower @entity490 , @entity2371 or both in five cases, accompanied by menometrorrhagia or @entity2588 in three cases. One @entity1 was thought to have an acute @entity74 . The @entity5 of the remaining 19 @entity1 were discovered either on routine gynecological examination or during an evaluation of the pregnancy status of the @entity1 . In 14 cases the @entity5 was located in the left broad ligament and in 11 cases it was on the right side; all the @entity5 were entirely separated from the ipsilateral ovary. On gross examination the @entity5 were 1-13 cm in greatest dimension, had smooth outer surfaces, and contained straw-colored, watery fluid. The inner lining bore single or multiple 0.3-2.5 cm excrescences. Microscopic examination revealed that the cyst walls and their excrescences were lined by simple to pseudostratified, cuboidal to columnar, focally ciliated epithelium. Slight nuclear atypism, very rare mitotic activity, and focal psammoma body formation were also found. The stroma resembled @entity43 but no primary follicles or follicular derivatives were identified. Twenty-three of the @entity1 were alive and well from 0.5 to 11 years after excision of the @entity5 , one @entity1 was disease-free for 8.5 years but died of an open-heart surgical procedure; and two @entity1 were lost to follow-up examination.
