Serous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary in an 11-year-old girl with extensive dissemination and chylothorax: a case report and a brief review of literature.
Ovarian neoplasms account for only 1% of all tumors in girls below the age of 17 years, and among these, malignant epithelial ovarian tumors are even more uncommon. We would like to report a case of ovarian epithelial malignancy presenting at 11 years of age with extensive peritoneal dissemination. The child ultimately succumbed to the illness and an autopsy was performed.
