Abstract
Ovarian neoplasia in pediatric population is rare. Serous cystadenoma is an uncommon ovarian tumor in the adolescent age group, arises from surface epithelium of ovary. We report a case of serous cystadenoma of ovary in a 16 -year-old presented with abdominal pain and severe abdominal distention. She underwent laparotomy and after surgical removal, the mass was found to be ovarian serous cystadenoma. The purpose of this case report is to include epithelial tumors of ovary in differential diagnosis of large ovarian masses despite being uncommon in occurrence.
