Abstract

Ovarian lesions in during childhood and adolescence are rare and most of these are benign. Mature teratomas are frequently seen in these cases. The most common of these masses in children are the mature cystic teratoma which are also known as dermoid cysts. The management of children with ovarian dermoids has evolved over recent years in a manner of ovary preservation. In this review article two cases of ovarian dermoids are presented. The tumoral mass was totally excised in both of these cases preserving the effected ovary in an ovary sparing manner. The medical history of the patients, radiological and histopathological findings are also given together with a brief literature review on this issue.
