Computed Tomography (CT) and pathologic correlation of ovarian tumours in children and adolescents: a review of eight cases

Introduction Ovarian tumours are an uncommon form of childhood neoplasm. About 75% of ovarian tumours in children less than 18 years of age were benign, 20% malignant and 5% potentially malignant. There was little difference in the clinical presentation of children with benign versus malignant tumo...
