Childhood ovarian neoplasms are very rare. Little information is available on the relative pattern and frequency of these tumors in Nigerian children. Earlier study done in Ibadan involved ovarian neoplasms in children and adolescents. The aim of this study is to review cases of ovarian neoplasms in children <15 years over a 22½ years period.
This was a retrospective study. Twenty-four cases of childhood ovarian neoplasms were seen in patients <15 years of age. These cases were classified using the current World Health Organization histological classification of ovarian tumors.
Childhood ovarian neoplasms accounted for 2.8% of all cases of ovarian tumors seen in this period. Fourteen (58.3%) cases of childhood ovarian neoplasms were benign, and 10 (41.7%) were malignant. Mature cystic teratoma occurring in 13 (54.2%) was the most common childhood ovarian neoplasm and was most prevalent between 10 and 14 years of age. Burkitt lymphoma was the most common 4 (40%) malignant childhood ovarian tumor and prevalent between 5 and 14 years of age.
Mature cystic teratoma remains the single most common childhood ovarian neoplasms, and Burkitt's lymphoma is the most malignant childhood ovarian tumor in Ibadan, South-western Nigeria.
儿童卵巢肿瘤非常罕见。关于尼日利亚儿童这些肿瘤的相对模式和频率的信息很少。早期在伊巴丹进行的研究涉及儿童和青少年的卵巢肿瘤。本研究的目的是回顾22年半期间15岁以下儿童卵巢肿瘤的病例。
这是一项回顾性研究。在15岁以下的患者中发现了24例儿童卵巢肿瘤病例。这些病例采用世界卫生组织当前的卵巢肿瘤组织学分类进行分类。
儿童卵巢肿瘤占该时期所见所有卵巢肿瘤病例的2.8%。14例（58.3%）儿童卵巢肿瘤为良性，10例（41.7%）为恶性。13例（54.2%）发生的成熟囊性畸胎瘤是最常见的儿童卵巢肿瘤，最常见于10至14岁之间。伯基特淋巴瘤是最常见的4例（40%）儿童恶性卵巢肿瘤，常见于5至14岁之间。
成熟囊性畸胎瘤仍然是最常见的儿童卵巢肿瘤，在尼日利亚西南部的伊巴丹，伯基特淋巴瘤是最恶性的儿童卵巢肿瘤。
