The research aimed to study adnexal masses in adolescent females aged 10\u201319 years, including their clinical, biochemical, and radiological evaluations. The goal was to develop a treatment plan and analyze its relationship with histopathological findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was carried out at a single center and included 124 participants in a descriptive research design.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During the study, 6.2% of adolescents had adnexal masses, with abdominal discomfort being the most common symptom (66.12%). Ultrasound scans showed cystic, solid, or complex masses in 41.6%, 23.4%, and 35% of cases, respectively. In 53.4% of the patients, tumors exceeding 10 cm in size were identified, while 66.67% exhibited elevated levels of tumor markers. Surgical procedures were necessary for 48.5% of adolescents, with laparoscopic cystectomy being carried out in 48.34% and staging laparotomy in 46.66%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Small asymptomatic cysts need to be monitored, but larger complex or solid tumors must all be thoroughly examined to rule out malignancy. Early diagnosis and preservation of the ovary should be the aim of treatment. Although guidelines exist for the treatment of adnexal masses in adults, there is limited information available in the literature regarding adolescents. Therefore, it is crucial to establish an appropriate surgical plan that preserves fertility in this vulnerable age group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/gmit.gmit-d-24-00030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,22]],"date-time":"2025-05-22T01:00:18Z","timestamp":1747875618000},"page":"145-151","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comprehensive Evaluation of Ovarian Growths in Young Women"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Mukta","family":"Agarwal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, AIIMS, Patna, Bihar, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Smita","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, AIIMS, Patna, Bihar, India"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paras Healthcare, Patna, Bihar, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sudwita","family":"Sinha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, AIIMS, Patna, Bihar, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20250522","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12","DOI":"10.4236\/ojog.2013.37A1004","article-title":"Evaluation of ovarian cysts in adolescents","volume":"3","author":"Zolton","year":"2013","journal-title":"Open J Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R2-20250522","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"54","DOI":"10.4103\/0971-5851.71656","article-title":"Ovarian tumors in pediatric age group \u2013 A clinicopathologic study of 10 years'cases in West Bengal, India","volume":"31","author":"Bhattacharyya","year":"2010","journal-title":"Indian J Med Paediatr Oncol"},{"key":"R3-20250522","first-page":"93","article-title":"Ovarian tumors in adolescent females, an experience at Nishtar Hospital Multan","volume":"7","author":"Quddusi","year":"2013","journal-title":"Pak J Med Health Sci"},{"key":"R4-20250522","first-page":"14","article-title":"Clinical spectrum and management of ovarian tumours in young girls up to 20 years of age","volume":"20","author":"Baloch","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Ayub Med Coll Abbottabad"},{"key":"R5-20250522","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e73","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpag.2013.07.007","article-title":"Ovarian masses in children and adolescents \u2013 An analysis of 521 clinical cases","volume":"27","author":"Zhang","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol"},{"key":"R6-20250522","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e210","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0000000000001768","article-title":"American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Committee on Practice Bulletins-Gynecology.
