Abstract

This chapter reviews the epidemiology, pathology, clinical presentation, management, and long-term outcomes of ovarian tumours in newborns, infants, children, and adolescents. Functional ovarian cysts are included since their presentation can be identical to those of ovarian neoplasms. Descriptions of the more frequently occurring ovarian neoplasms arising from germ cells, sex cord–stromal cells and epithelial cells are included. Fertility is an important long-term outcome so ovarian preserving strategies and procedures are highlighted. These conditions are uncommon and the best patient outcomes are obtained by multidisciplinary teams of paediatric surgeons, adolescent gynaecologist, endocrinologists, radiologists, and oncologists.
