Abstract
Concurrent Serous Borderline Tumour
in Pelvic Lymph Nodes after Radical
Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer

Endosalpingiosis is the presence of tubal epithelium outside the tube. It is linked
to borderline serous tumour which is considered to be the precursor lesion of lowgrade
serous cancer. However, borderline serous tumour can very rarely arise as a
primary nodal neoplasm in the absence of tumour within the ovary or the tubes.
We report the first case where borderline serous cancer was found incidentally in
pelvic lymph nodes after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer, probably arising
from endosalpingiosis.
