J Pediatr Surg. 2010 Aug;45(8):E9-12. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2010.05.024.

Abstract

We report the case of a 15-year-old girl diagnosed with mucinous cystadenoma 3 years after ovarian-sparing surgery for a mature teratoma located in the same ovary. Ovarian teratoma is the most common ovarian neoplasm in children, whereas mucinous cystadenoma is extremely rare during childhood.
