Recurrent ovarian borderline tumors are tumors that have come back after they have been treated. The tumors may come back in the other ovary or in other parts of the body. Tests will be done to help determine where the tumor has returned. The type of treatment for a recurrent ovarian borderline tumor will depend on where it has come back.
