OVARIAN TUMORS IN CHILDHOOD

[摘要] Data on 14 cases of ovarian tumors occurring in children have been discussed in this presentation.Ovarian neoplasm is uncommon during childhood. It should be considered however in the differential diagnosis of several conditions observed not infrequently by the clinician in girls from infancy through adolescence. These conditions are: lower abdominal pain of acute, subacute or chronic nature; abdominal or pelvic masses; precocious puberty and vaginal bleeding.The treatment is surgical.The prognosis in the malignant varieties is usually serious, but there are exceptions to this generalization. The prognosis in the benign types is good.
