title: [Anatamo-pathological aspects of malignant ovarian tumors in children. Apropos of 16 cases].
abstract: The authors present 16 cases of malignant ovarian tumors in childhood, censed in Pasteur Institute - Tunis. These tumors are scarce, and present in the literature only 3% of the malignant tumors in childhood. In this series, germ cell tumors are the most frequent and present 81.25% of these cases, of which 43.75% of dysgerminoma. Gonadal stromal tumors are more scarce (6.25%). The prognosis of these tumors was transformed by the radiation therapy in dysgerminoma, and the chemotherapy in the other germ cell tumors. These tumors must be diagnosed and treated early.
