title: [Superficial epithelial-stromal ovarian tumors in girls].
abstract: Superficial epithelial-stromal ovarian tumours are unusual in adolescent girls (when compared with adult women) and extremely rare before menarche. A group of 40 girls with such tumours was chosen among 180 cases (22%) of ovarian tumours in childhood and adolescent age. All of them were between 9 and 18 years with one exception of a 5-year old girl. Mucinous tumours (22 cases) prevailed a bit over the serous ones (16 cases), two tumours were seromucinous. 35 tumours were one sided, 5 bilateral belonged to serous tumours. One sided tumours comprised 5 cystadenomas, 5 cystadenofibromas and 1 borderline serous tumour. Bilateral neoplasms were represented by 3 serous cystadenofibromas, 1 borderline serous tumour and 1 serous cystadenocarcinoma. Mucinous tumours comprised 16 benign cystadenomas, 4 borderline intestinal type tumours (one with identifiable eosinophilic indifferent cells) and 2 mucinous intestinal type cystadenocarcinomas. Both mixed tumours had the structure of seromucinous cystadenoma.
