title: Conservative management of ovarian cancer in a 15-year-old patient.
abstract: A 15-year-old patient with stage-Ia epithelial ovarian cancer was managed conservatively after simple excision of the tumor. The remaining ovary is screened at regular intervals by ultrasound. It is hoped that this policy is justified to allow future childbearing after which total pelvic clearance is proposed.
