BACKGROUND: Molecular data suggest that peritoneal tumors in women with advanced-stage ovarian papillary serous adenocarcinoma are monoclonal in origin. Whether the same is true for ovarian tumors of low malignant potential is not known. We compared peritoneal and ovarian tumors from women with advanced-stage ovarian papillary serous tumors of low malignant potential to determine whether the peritoneal tumors...
