[Tumors in childhood and adolescence].
The trial present the results for the incidence and histology of tumours in patients below 18 years, examined at the State University Hospital Maĭchin Dom in Sofia for two consequent periods of 4 years each. An increase is registered in the incidence of neoplastic disease from 1.85% to 3.42%. There is no significant difference in hystological characteristics of the tumours when comparing I and II period: 85.7% versus 77.4% benign tumours (mucous cysts, dermoid ovarian cysts and polyps) and 14.3% versus 22.6% malignant tumours (ill differentiated teratomas, cystadenocarcinomas, dysgerminomas, ovarian embryocarcinomas and rhabdomyosarcomas). Accurate diagnostics requires detailed gynaecological examination, including a rectal one, vaginal probing, vaginal scopia, ultrasound, laparoscopy. Early discovery followed by surgery provides a possibility for adequate and definite treatment.
