Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are epithelial tumors with low grade of malignancy.  BOTs account for 10–15% of epithelial ovarian tumors. These tumors occur in younger women, with almost 30% of patients younger than 40 years, and are often diagnosed at an earlier stage than invasive carcinomas.

The ovary is a common site of metastases from malignant tumors. Most metastases in the ovaries originate in the gastrointestinal tract or the breast. The distinction between primary and metastatic ovarian neoplasm is of critical importance, since surgical cytoreduction is the treatment of choice for the former.

Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract, affecting 2-3% of women during their lifetime. The median age at diagnosis is 60-65 years and the most commonly associated risk-factor is obesity.

Uterine sarcomas are rare malignant tumors arising from the mesenchymal tissues of the uterus, i.e. the endometrial stroma, uterine muscle and connective tissue. They represent 1% of female genital tract malignancies and 3-7% of all uterine malignances.
