Mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary in a 15-year-old girl.
Benign neoplasms of the ovary originating from epithelial tissue are common tumors in adult women. They are, however, rarely seen in children or adolescent girls. Here the authors present a case of an ovarian mucinous cystadenoma in a premenarchal girl. To our knowledge, there are only 5 other cases reported in the literature.
