Tumor de Brenner benigno asociado a tumor mucinoso borderline de ovario en paciente postmenopáusica / Benign Brenner tumour associated with a borderline mucinous tumour of the ovary in a post-menopausal patient

RESUMEN

El tumor de Brenner es una neoplasia ovárica infrecuente de origen incierto, generalmente asintomática. Su diagnóstico es complejo, sin presentar patrones ecográficos específicos. Se ha asociado a tumores mucinosos con distinto potencial de malignidad, pudiendo encontrar componentes malignos o borderline que determinarán el tratamiento. Para su diagnóstico diferencial es esencial la realización de un estudio inmunohistoquímico, para objetivar el origen clonal del tumor de Brenner y de la estirpe mucinosa. Presentamos el caso de una mujer diagnosticada intraoperatoriamente de un tumor de Brenner asociado a un tumor mucinoso borderline de ovario, en el estudio definitivo posterior.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Brenner tumour is an uncommon neoplasm of the ovary of uncertain origin and often asymptomatic. Diagnostic is complex, without specific ultrasound patterns. It has been associated with mucinous tumours with different potential for malignancy, and it is possible to find malignant or borderline components that determine the treatment. For its differential diagnosis immunohistochemical study is essential, which shows, according to various studies, a clonal origin of Brenner and mucinous tumour. This is a case report of a Brenner tumour associated with a mucinous tumour, which in a definitive study showed to be associated with a borderline ovarian tumour component.(AU)
