Popis: Highlights • This report consists of five pediatric tumors of ovarian cell lineage. • These unusual, interesting tumors challenge both surgeon and oncologist. • Some appear malignant, seemingly require chemotherapy, but behave with benignity. Some are easily resected; others demand the utmost skill. • Complexity perplexes; elucidation is by selection – ignoring some things, attending to others. • Case studies illustrate – for good or ill – the process whereby clinical conundrums are resolved.
