Abstract
We report the case of a 15-year-old girl diagnosed with mucinous cystadenoma 3 years
after ovarian-sparing surgery for a mature teratoma located in the same ovary. Ovarian
teratoma is the most common ovarian neoplasm in children, whereas mucinous cystadenoma
is extremely rare during childhood.
