primary retroperitoneal mucinous tumor (prmt) of low malignant potential (border line) is an uncommon neoplasm with fewer than 50 reported cases. uncertain diagnostic imaging results make diagnosis of its origin difficult, preoperatively. later treatment planning and prognosis would be affected by exact diagnosis of the tumor origin. this study presents a case of persian woman with diagnostic, ...

The article by Trimble and Trimble nicely summarizes the state of knowledge on ovarian tumors of low malignant potential (LMP) and underscores the fact that gaps in that knowledge have led to confusion and controversy regarding several issues related to these interesting neoplasms. Many of these controversies can be characterized as debates between the "lumpers" and the "splitters.' The Johns H...

Clinical and laboratory reports suggest that ovarian tumors of low malignant potential (LMP) represent a "grab bag" of tumors, with different etiologies, molecular biologies, and prognoses. As a result, data on incidence and prognosis may be quite unreliable. Diagnosis is best made on permanent section. Half of women under age 40 undergo conservative, fertility-sparing surgery when diagnosed wi...

Executive Summary Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential can be a challenge in daily underwriting, as even clinicians are not in full agreement about the correct approach. This article sheds light on this tumor and highlights some of the key favorable factors when underwriting this condition. INTRODUCTION Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential, also known as borderline tumors of the ovary...

Abstract Background Solid pseudo-papillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP) is a rare disease with a low malignant potential. Though it shows low malignant potential 10% to 15% of the cases show aggressive behavior with metastatic involvement of the liver. The symptoms include abdominal discomfort and abdominal pain. It is very rare in early years of age. This is the case of a 10 year old girl wi...
