“…Malignancy was observed to be 11% in a 424 ovarian mass series and 1.8% in 707 ovarian torsions. 21 Our malignancy rate(n= 2) is 3.57%. It is therefore understood that ovarian tissue protection must first be achieved.…”

“…20 In Oltmann's 424 patient series, the mean age was 12.5±0.26 years, the malignancy rate was 11% and 114 of these patients had torsion (26%). 1,21 The mean age of the torsion patients was 10 ± 0.53. Four of the torsion patients' tumours were malignant (3.5%) and 26 were benign (24%), while the remainder were functional lesions (72.5%).…”

“…One of the most common diagnoses in a young girl with a pelvic mass is ovarian torsion, which usually can be managed with laparoscopic detorsion of the ovary. Although the ovary often appears edematous and enlarged, it is very rarely malignant, with rates of only 1-3.5% [38]. If no obvious signs of metastatic disease are seen, the ovary should be left in situ and monitored postoperatively with ultrasound.…”
