The methodology employed a systematic review of reported cases of large/giant ovarian tumor in adolescence. The main objective was to assess the imagery findings, histology of the tumor, and the type of surgery performed. Our study included 58 patients with the tumor diameters ranged between 11 and 42 cm, with a median value of 22.75 cm and a mean diameter of 24.66 ± 8.50 cm. The lesions were benign in 47 cases (81%), borderline in 2 cases (3.4%), and malign in 9 cases (15.6%). We found no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) between the size of the tumors and the ovarian markers levels. At the same time, a statistically significant difference was identified (p=
