Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and histological type of lesions affecting the ovaries and to analyze employed methods of invasive treatment. Materials&Methods: Medical records of patients who were treated surgically for ovarian tumors in the years 2015 -2019 were reviewed. The study group was comprised of 31 female patients. Results: During 5 years time, there were 31 girls in the age from 3 months to 17 years hospitalized in the department. The mean age was 11 years. Histopathological examination was performed in all of these cases. 12 patients were diagnosed with malignant lesion, 19 with benign lesion. The most commonly diagnosed malignant tumors were a dysgerminoma and a mixed germ cell tumor. In the group of benign lesions, the most frequent tumor type was mature teratoma. The first occurring symptom was abdominal pain. Some of the lesions were diagnosed accidentally during ultrasonography. The diagnostics was expanded depending on the size of the tumor, staging and clinical condition of the patient. All the patients were treated surgically, 16 of them underwent laparoscopic surgery. Torsion of the ovary or oviduct was observed in 3 cases. Chemotherapy was introduced in 8 cases as complementary treatment. Conclusions: The most commonly diagnosed tumor was mature teratoma. Ultrasonography is the most frequent method of the ovaries’ examination. Ovarian lesions are characterized by non-specific clinical symptoms, which is associated with prevalent incidental detection during ultrasonography.
