title: Clinical experience of ovarian neoplasm in childhood and adolescence.
abstract: Clinical behaviour of 12 cases of ovarian neoplasm in childhood and adolescence was reviewed. Diagnostic work-up required a great deal of time, gentleness and patience. Of all ovarian tumours, 58.4% were epithelial, 33.3% were germ cell group and 8.3% were sex cord stromal tumours. Pleuripotent nature of gonads is reflected by the complex variety of ovarian tumours in children. Seventy-five per cent among the tumours were malignant. Amongst the epithelial tumours 85.7% were malignant. Because of certain reasons, comparison of results was felt difficult.
