Abstract

It is recommended that greater use of imaging of the pelvis and tumour markers preoperatively is essential for evaluation of adolescent ovarian masses. There should be greater use of conservative expectant management or ovarian-sparing surgery in view of the low risk of malignancy in adolescent age group.

The objectives of the study are-1.
