Abstract
Sonographic findings of a serous surface papillary borderline tumor of the ovary have
rarely been reported in the English literature. Here, we describe a case of serous
surface papillary borderline tumor, which was depicted on gray-scale and Doppler ultrasonography
as smoothly lobulated and polypoid heterogeneous echoic bilateral adnexal masses encased
or surrounded by what was presumed to be normal-appearing ovarian follicles with increased
vascular flow.
