“…We also included future study questions indicated by authors and a summary of two systematic reviews that met our criteria concerning the topic. We considered them to be helpful as, to our knowledge, these are the only systematic reviews regarding all kinds of ovarian masses in the last 10 years, and this type of research has a higher level of evidence (Level V) than any separate retrospective study [2,4,6,7,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Our charting exercise revealed 10 major branches of research within the topic of ovarian masses in pediatric population: epidemiology and presentation, tumor markers, choice of the imaging method, risk factors for malignancy, risk of torsion and its low malignancy risk, use of laparoscopy, surgeon's specialty and outcome, rate of oophorectomy, and need for prospective study.…”

Purpose: to determine management problems of ovarian masses in girls in order to form a baseline for prospective randomized studies of the established topics and quality improvement of our management. Materials and Methods: We performed a national analysis of clinical aspects of ovarian masses in girls operated on in Poland, analyzed retrospectively medical files of all consecutive patients aged 0–18 who underwent surgeries for ovarian lesions between 2012 and 2017 at 17 pediatric surgical departments and complemented the analysis with a scoping review of a recent primary research related to ovarian masses in children. Results: The study group comprised 595 patients. Forty-four (7.39%) girls were diagnosed with malignant tumors. The overall preservation rate was 64.54%. The analysis revealed that positive tumor markers (OR = 10.3), lesions larger than 6 cm (OR = 4.17) and solid mass on ultrasound examination (OR = 5.34) are interdependent variables differentiating malignant tumors from non-malignant lesions (X42= 79.1; p = 0.00000). Our scoping review revealed 10 major branches of research within the topic of ovarian masses in pediatric population. Conclusions: We have developed an overview of the field with the emphasis on the local environment. Our next step is a multi-institutional prospective study of a quality improvement project implementation based on the obtained knowledge.

“…The overall sensitivity and specificity of FNA biopsy of ovarian lesions is controversial and varies depending on individual studies. [71][72][73] FNA cytology diagnostic accuracy of ovarian tumor histotype is 52%. 74 In general, FNA biopsy has a higher yield in solid or solidcystic lesions in comparison to purely cystic lesions, which are typically paucicellular.…”

Abdominopelvic washings (APW) performed during gynecologic surgeries have become a common specimen evaluated by cytopathologists. Their role in staging of female genital tract tumors has changed significantly since they were first described, and continue to evolve. The ability of these washings to detect microscopic disease, even in the absence of gross disease, warrants the critical role that these washings play in the staging of certain female gynecologic tract tumors, allowing for optimal staging and subsequent treatment of the patient. Irrespective of the underlying pathology, the gamut of cytomorphologic findings that may be observed in APW is extensive, and ranges from benign lesions that may act as mimickers of malignancy, to both common and rare malignancies. This review discusses the changing role of APW in the staging of gynecologic tumors, and highlights the salient cytomorphologic features of these lesions, with emphasis in their correct identification, including cautionary notes to avoid over or misinterpretation.
