Ovarian lesions are rare but frequent in children. Patients could present with abdominal pain, but ovarian lesions could also be incidentally found on ultrasound. Awareness is required in cases with acute, severe lower abdominal pain, as ovarian torsion could be the cause. Other lesions can be cysts or benign or malignant ovarian tumors. Thus, the aim of this paper is to review typical ovarian lesions according to age, imaging and laboratory findings, and surgical management.
