Introduction: Gynecologic tumors represent less than 5% of all solid tumors in children. Patients and Method: Through a prospective and descriptive study over 4-years,
we included girls agedless than
15 years admitted for a gynecologic tumor. We collected and analyzed the medical
data, and paid particular attention to the pre-diagnosis history. Results: Eleven girls met our criteria with a mean age of 8.5 years (2-13 years). Abdominal pain, abdominal distension
or protrusion of a vaginal mass was the main symptoms. The patients were seen at
least by one doctor outside the surgical structure [1] [2][3]. Four of eleven were received
by two different doctors before carrying out the evocative radiological assessment.
The average consultation delay was7-months (24 hours to
18 months). There were
nine ovarian tumors and two vaginal tumors. The histological study revealed five
of eleven (45%) malignant tumors. Conclusion: Gynecological tumors in children
are rare. However, there is a significant proportion of malignant tumors. All doctors can be confronted
with it and should not delay the radiological
