dc.description.abstract | Ovarian cysts are a common finding in female adolescents presenting with macrocysts that occupy the entire pelvis or abdomen. Ovarian cysts can be asymptomatic and found accidentally or be manifested as a painful syndrome in which one of the first clinical signs is the feeling of abdominal fullness or progressive enlargement of the abdomen. The frequency of which ovarian cyst are present in adolescent young females has raised and is in the range from 3,8% to 30,9%. Peak ovarian cyst frequency was at age of 15 years with a rate of 31.3%.1 We report an unusual case of a large ovarian cyst in a 12-year-old girl without previous medical information of illness. The cyst was asymptomatic until it became large enough and manifested as weight gain and progressive abdominal distension over the course of a few months and was an accidental finding on an abdominal CT. Because of the progressive pain and discomfort of the patient, CT and MR imaging were performed. The radiographic features of the cyst together with the further management and treatment are discussed below. | en_US |
