Case ReportsBilateral micropapillary serous carcinoma of the ovary: a case report.
Micropapillary serous carcinoma (MPSC), a recently described entity in the group of serous borderline tumor, needs to be recognized and separated from serous borderline tumor of usual type (SBT) as MPSC has a worse prognosis. ⋯ MPSC, classified as serous borderline tumor, needs to be differentiated from APST as well as conventional serous carcinoma. It is diagnosed according to strict criteria laid down. Multiple sections should be studied to exclude invasion. Adequate peritoneal sampling should be performed to look for implants, which is of prognostic significance.
