Incidental Discovery of a Fallopian Tube Mesenteric Borderline Serous Tumor During Cesarean Section: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in The American journal of case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Borderline serous tumors (BSTs) are epithelial neoplasms of low malignant potential, accounting for approximately 10% to 15% of all ovarian epithelial tumors and are generally associated with a favorable prognosis. Primary fallopian tube BSTs are uncommon and usually detected incidentally. Fallopian tube mesenteric BST arising during pregnancy is extremely rare, with limited literature available. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of this rare disease and offers practical insights into perioperative management. CASE REPORT A 29-year-old woman (gravida 2, para 1) at 37 weeks of gestation with a twin pregnancy underwent elective cesarean delivery. Intraoperatively, a 4×3×3 cm cystic mass originating from the mesentery of the ampulla of the left fallopian tube was identified and excised. The lesion was first detected on ultrasonography 18 months before delivery, but serial imaging during the antepartum period failed to yield a definitive diagnosis. Postoperative histopathological assessment, including gross and microscopic examination, confirmed the diagnosis of BST. Follow-up at 6 and 9 months postoperatively showed no signs of recurrence, and serum CA-125 levels remained within the normal range. CONCLUSIONS Fallopian tube mesenteric BST in pregnancy presents substantial diagnostic challenges due to its rarity and non-specific imaging features. Fertility-sparing resection is safe and effective for preserving reproductive function. The complexity of twin gestation requires careful intraoperative decision-making and highlights the value of multidisciplinary teamwork. Thorough intraoperative evaluation and long-term postoperative surveillance are essential to improve long-term outcomes.
