Ovarian lesions in children are most frequently diagnosed in pubertal period. That could be associated with increased gonadotropin stimulation in this period. Most of the andexal masses in adolescents are benign. Malignant tumors of the ovary account less than 2 % in girls. Every girl with ovarian tumor and acute abdominal pain requires urgent differential diagnostic intervention and/or surgical treatment. The proportion of ovarian torsion is 2-3 % of all cases of abdominal pain in girls. This condition is an emergent gynecological pathology. One of the main aim of surgical treatment in young is to preserve fertility. Different surgery tactics in cases of ovarian masses in adolescents are reviewed in the article. The reproductive status of women underwent treatment for ovarian masses in childhood requires further investigations.
