Brenner tumors (BTs) are rare ovarian tumors which are a part of the epithelial stromal tumor group of ovarian neoplasms. Most of the BTs are benign and usually asymptomatic. BTs stand for the 1.4-2.5% of ovarian tumors. Of the BTs, not more than 2% exhibit characteristics of borderline (or malignant) BTs. Borderline BTs are usually bigger than benign BTs and individuals typically represent with symptoms related with a unilateral ovarian mass. BTs are often related with mucinous cystadenomas or seldom cystadenocarcinomas. We present a case of borderline BT associated with a concomitant mucinous ovarian tumor.
