GOMEZ FAJARDO, Carlos Alberto  and  ECHEVERRI JARAMILLO, Carolina. Massive ovarian edema in adolescence. Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2003, vol.54, n.3, pp.171-175. ISSN 0034-7434.

We report the case of a 15 year-old girl seen at Hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe (Medellín-Colombia). She presented with an unilateral ovarian mass. It was thought to be a teratoma based on clinical and laboratory information. She underwent unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The final pathological diagnosis was massive ovarian edema. We make some considerations on this rare entity.

Keywords : Massive Ovarian Edema.
