Borderline serous ovarian tumors represent less than 1% of ovarian tumors in adolescents. The diagnostic approach includes clinical examination, imaging, and tumor markers. The definitive diagnosis is anatomopathological. Treatment is surgical while preserving fertility. Borderline tumors have a good prognosis with a risk of recurrence. Our work concerns the management of a case of a borderline ovarian tumor in a 16-year-old adolescent.
