ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Malignant Brenner tumors are rare ovarian tumors, accounting for less than 1% of malignant ovarian neoplasms. The aim of this manuscript is to systematically review the current literature concerning malignant Brenner tumors.METHODS:
We searched three medical databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) for relevant articles published until 15 September 2023.RESULTS:
After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 48 manuscripts describing 115 cases were included in this study from the English literature.CONCLUSIONS:
We analyzed the demographic, clinical, pathological, and oncological characteristics of 115 patients with malignant Brenner tumors. The statistical analysis showed that recurrence was marginally statistically significantly related to tumor stage and was more common in patients with ascites and in women with abnormal CA-125 levels; patients that were treated with lymphadenectomy had better disease-specific survival.
