this is what I was looking for but instead of using in tableview cell I ended up creating a custom UIView.

public class UIBorderedView: UIView {
    var color = UIColor.white
    var lineWidth: CGFloat = 1
    var edges = UIRectEdge() {
        didSet {
            roundInternal()
            setNeedsDisplay()
        }
    }

    private var _cornerRadiusValue: CGFloat = 20

    var cornerRadiusValue: CGFloat {
        get {
            return _cornerRadiusValue
        }
        set {
            if newValue != cornerRadiusValue {
                _cornerRadiusValue = newValue
                roundInternal()
                setNeedsDisplay()
            }
        }
    }

    private func roundInternal() {
        var corners: CACornerMask = []

        if edges.contains(.top) {
            corners.insert([.layerMinXMinYCorner, .layerMaxXMinYCorner])
        }

        if edges.contains(.bottom) {
            corners.insert([.layerMinXMaxYCorner, .layerMaxXMaxYCorner])
        }

        var radius = cornerRadiusValue
        if edges.contains(.all) {
            radius = radius / 2
        }

        round(with: radius, corners: corners)
    }

    public override func draw(_ rect: CGRect) {
        if edges.contains(.all) {
            let radius = cornerRadiusValue / 2
            let path = UIBezierPath(roundedRect: bounds, byRoundingCorners: .allCorners, cornerRadii: CGSize(width: radius, height: radius))
            path.lineWidth = lineWidth
            color.setStroke()
            path.stroke()
            return
        }

        if edges.contains(.top) {
            let path = CGMutablePath()

            path.move(to: CGPoint(x: bounds.minX, y: bounds.maxY))

            path.addArc(

                radius: cornerRadiusValue
            )

            path.addArc(
                tangent1End: CGPoint(x: bounds.maxX, y: bounds.minY),
                tangent2End: CGPoint(x: bounds.maxX, y: bounds.midY),
                radius: cornerRadiusValue
            )

            path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: bounds.maxX, y: bounds.maxY))
