Abstract

Parovarian cysts are benign cysts that are included within the subject of ovarian cysts due to their close position. They are seen rarely in children and are difficult to diagnose. It usually appears as an intraabdominal mass in the newborn period and with a clinical picture of acute abdomen in the prepubertal period. The treatment is excision of the cyst with salvage of the ovary and fallopian tubes in uncomplicated cases whereas cyst excision with salpingo-oopherectomy may be required in case of adnexal torsion. We present two cases in this study, one who had been diagnosed without complication development in the neonatal period and the other presenting with a clinical picture of acute abdomen following the development of acute abdomen in the prepubertal period.
