Discussion

Retrospective cohort study evaluates malignancy risk and surgical management in ovarian masses, highlighting fertility outcomes.

Ovarian masses in pediatric and young adult patients mostly benign, yet malignancy risk notable in older adolescents.
Mean patient age was 13.7 years, with right-sided masses more common at 69.6% and 79.9% of surgeries open.
Surgical procedures include predominantly fertility-sparing surgeries with significant variability in recurrence rates by histology.
Tumor markers AFP and β-hCG demonstrated high specificity at 88% and 90% for predicting malignancy.

Bayramoğlu et al. (2025) studied this question.
