Abstract

Although frozen section diagnosis is an important and reliable tool in the clinical management of patients with ovarian tumors, over-diagnosis and under-diagnosis are relatively frequent in frozen proven BTO. Surgical decision-making for BTO based on frozen section diagnosis should be done carefully, especially in large tumors.
