Papillary serous cystadenocarcinomas are the most common form of malignant ovarian cancer making up 26 percent of ovarian tumours in women aged over 20 in the United States.^[1]

As with most ovarian tumours, due to the lack of early signs of disease these tumours can be large when discovered and have often metastasis, often by spreading along the peritoneum.^[2]
