Abstract
Introduction
Ovarian Neoplasm’s account for Approximately 1% of all tumour in adolescent. Most ovarian Neoplasm’s are Benign. However it is important to establish an early diagnosis to reduce the risks of ovarian torsion and to improve the prognosis for the malignant lesion. Ovarian Neoplasm’s are Aprox. 10 – 20% of all ovarian masses during adolescence are malignant. Elevated levels of serum tumour marker, including α fetoprotein, β HCG, CA-125 Raise concern for ovarian Malignancy.
