Abstract

Background

Ovarian tumors in women under 20 years of age present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, owing to their diverse histological subtypes. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and pathological features of ovarian tumors in women aged <20 years.

Methods

This cross-sectional descriptive study evaluated the clinicopathological features of ovarian tumor samples.

Results

The mean age of the patients was 17.2 years. The occurrence of 54 tumors among 180 girls under the age of 20 with ovarian masses equates to a frequency of 30 %. Surface epithelial tumors and germ cell tumors were the most frequent, with 22 cases (40.7 %).

Conclusion

The frequency of 30 % of ovarian tumors in girls under 20 years of age with ovarian masses indicates a high prevalence. This finding demonstrates that abdominal pain, along with symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, should elicit a broad range of differential diagnoses.

年龄在20岁以下 的女性卵巢肿瘤由于其不同的组织学亚型，呈现出独特的诊断和治疗挑战。本研究旨在探讨20 岁女性卵巢肿瘤的临床和病理特征。方法采用横断面描述性研究方法对卵巢肿瘤标本的临床病理特征进行评价。结果患者平均年龄17.2 岁。180例20岁以下女性卵巢肿块中54例肿瘤的发生率为30% %。以表面上皮肿瘤和生殖细胞肿瘤最常见，共22例（40.7 %）。结论20岁以下 岁少女卵巢肿瘤发生率为30 %，卵巢肿块发生率高。这一发现表明，腹痛，以及恶心和呕吐等症状，应该引起广泛的鉴别诊断。
