Description/Abstract
We describe a 13-month-old female who presented with vaginal bleeding, breast and pubic hair development and an abdominal mass. She underwent emergency laparotomy and left-sided salpingoopherectomy. Histological examination of the resected ovary revealed massive ovarian oedema, a rare non-neoplastic enlargement of the ovary. Consideration of this diagnosis in patients with an abdominal mass and endocrine disturbance may allow conservative surgery and preservation of fertility.
