This close to the time of surgery for a borderline ovarian tumor, it is unlikely to be serious. This may be a residual from the recent surgery. If necessary, you doctor and the radiologist can get a sample of fluid for analysis.

Just make sure to discuss with your doctor as to whether or not your borderline tumor was staged surgically ....... what other information did he glean from the operation that van give you the info you seek.
