Abstract:: Background: Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential are proliferating intermediate epithelial ovarian tumors capable of metastasis. Histologically they lie between adenomas and carcinomas. Despite their relatively high incidence optimal management is often unclear. Methods: We reviewed 169 patients with ovarian tumors of LMP treated between 1972 and 1995. Results: LMP is a histologic diagnosis. Some tumors of LMP show microinvasion. Peritoneal implants can be invasive or noninvasive and this is of prognostic relevance. So-called micropapillary carcinoma may be a specific subtype of serous varian tumors of LMP. The goal of primary treatment is to accurately stage the disease and remove it completely. Adjuvant treatment is generally reserved for patients considered at high risk for recurrence. Conclusion: New genetic techniques may permit a more accurate classification of ovarian tumors of LMP and more individualized treatment.
