Abstract
Ovarian masses are a relatively frequent finding either in perinatal or in paediatric and
adolescent ages and are not always easy to interpret and manage. The same rules and
protocols used in adult patients are generally adopted in the clinical approach to these
formations, however during the first years of life this policy presents an elevated risk of
useless alarmism and dangerous underestimations of possible complications or differential
diagnoses. The aim of this paper is to review what are the myths and facts in the clinical
pathway of this pathology according to the most recent literature
