Ovarian tumor cases that were preoperatively diagnosed as benign but postoperatively confirmed as borderline or malignant after laparoscopic surgery

Conclusion Some tumors diagnosed preoperatively as benign proved postoperatively to be malignant. Appropriate postoperative treatment effectively improved the prognosis. Particular attention should be paid to a possible occult malignancy that may manifest postoperatively, especially in patients who underwent emergency surgery. We recommend preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, even for emergency cases, to improve preoperative diagnosis.
