Cysts and tumours of the ovary are not uncommon in childhood. In 33 years between 1950 and 1982 106 patients were operated on at Alder Hey Children's Hospital and the Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital. Of these 71 were pre-menarchal. The mode of presentation, pathology and diagnostic difficulties of the pre-menarchal lesions are reviewed. The value of ultrasound scanning has become apparent in recent years. Most cysts and tumours are benign, but dysgerminomas are the most common malignant tumours encountered. Even when there is evidence of spread of the tumour the prognosis in these remains reasonably good.
卵巢囊肿和肿瘤在儿童期并不罕见。在1950年至1982年的33年间,阿尔德希儿童医院和皇家利物浦儿童医院对106例患者进行了手术。其中71例为月经初潮前患者。本文回顾了月经初潮前病变的临床表现、病理及诊断难点。近年来,超声扫描的价值已日益显现。大多数囊肿和肿瘤是良性的,但无性细胞瘤是最常见的恶性肿瘤。即使有肿瘤扩散的证据,这些患者的预后仍然相当良好。
