title: The rôle of ultrasound scan in childhood ovarian tumors.
abstract: Seven cases with childhood ovarian tumors are presented. All underwent an ultrasound scan which gave the the preliminary diagnosis of ovarian tumor. Treatment differs according to the status of the child and whether malignity is involved. The numerous differential diagnoses must be kept in mind. The management of children with an unexplained abdominal mass should include an ultrasound scan.
