Abstract
A 15-year-old patient with stage-Ia epithelial ovarian cancer was mana ged conservatively after simple excision of the tumor. The remaining o vary is screened at regular intervals by ultrasound. It is hoped that this policy is justified to allow future childbearing after which tota l pelvic clearance is proposed.
