title: [Ovarian cysts and tumors in neonates, infants and children (author's transl)].
abstract: Twenty-six girls, aged from 0 to 15 years, were operated, upon ovarian cysts and tumors from 1952 to 1977. Before the age of one year, 11 non-neoplastic cysts and 2 benign tumors were observed. After the age of one, 1 non-neoplastic cyst and 12 tumors: 8 germ-cell tumors, 3 tumors of specialized gonadal stroma, and one epithelial tumor. Three germ-cell tumors were malignant (1 girl dead of disease, 2 alive at 2 and 1 1/2 years). All three gonadal stromal tumors are benign (with a follow-up of 3 months, 4 and 20 years). Epidemiology, pathology prognosis and management of these tumors are discussed according the recent literature.
