Abstract
This study presents current recommendations of the Polish Association of Pediatric Surgeons (PTChD) regarding diagnostics and treatment of ovarian lesions in girls. They are based on many years of the authors’ clinical experience as well as a review of international literature and include practical clinical guidelines. The recommendations were formulated in cooperation with the Polish Association of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology (PTOHD), Polish Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology Section of the Polish Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (PTG) and Polish Pediatric Section of the Polish Society of Radiology (PLTR). Only better understanding of prepubertal ovarian biology and natural history of its pathology may help to introduce efficient and safe diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for girls. The prepared document has been supplemented with treatment algorithms.
