Ovarian and genital tract neoplasms

Abstract

Neonatal tumors occur every 12,500-27,500 live births and ovarian and female genital tract tumors are reported as rare cases in the literature. Ovarian tumor is an exceptional condition in neonates and, in contrast to older children, sex-cord-stromal tumors are the most frequently reported symptomatic neoplasms. Considering gynecological neoplasms, a vaginal bleeding in a female neonate should always alert on the risk of vaginal malignant neoplasm with rhabdomyosarcoma and malignant germ cell tumors as the first tumoral types encountered.
