[Personal observations of puberty in girls after unilateral ovariectomy].

Abstract

The authors present the course of puberty in three girls after surgery because of hormonally active ovarian tumours diagnosed and operated at the age of 3, 6 and 9 years, respectively. In the youngest patient with folliculoma ovari chemotherapy was also given, and girl No. 3 with luteinic capsule was treated for one year with decapeptyl because idiopathic precocious puberty was diagnosed. At present all three girls are in good physical condition with age-adequate development and puberty.
