SAN FRANCISCO -- Ovarian tumors should be considered in the differential diagnosis of young girls who present with abdominal pain, an abdominal mass, or endocrine symptoms, Dr. Kris Ann Schultz said in a poster session at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies.

"Girls can present with very nonspecific symptoms indicative of ovarian tumors," said Dr. Schultz, a second-year resident with the department of pediatrics at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.

She and her associates reviewed the medical records of 67 females aged 0-18 years with ovarian tumors who presented to the University of Minnesota or to Children's Hospitals and Clinics in Minneapolis and St. Paul from 1980 to 2003.
