If a premenopausal woman underwent a hysterectomy with unilateral SO with final pathology demonstrating an intact mucinous borderline tumor with negative washings, would you take her back for surgical staging?
Would you perform oophorectomy of the other ovary and an appendectomy?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
No, I would not take her back. NCCN guidelines affirm that a patient with incompletely staged, or incompletely resected borderline tumor may be observed if CT chest, abdomen, and pelvis reveals no residual tumor. Surveillance should be sufficient.
