Sumario:Ovarian lesions represent a diagnostic challenge for the radiologist and should be approached according to the patient's age, menstrual cycle, and imaging characteristics. These lesions can be cystic, mixed, or solid-predominant structures. Generally, the occurrence of benign lesions surpasses that of malignant ones at a ratio of 3:1. However, within infantile and juvenile age groups, this becomes an infrequent occurrence, making up only about 5% of ovarian tumor cases. This case report sheds light on a unique scenario involving a pediatric patient who harbored 2 benign tumors simultaneously: a mature cystic teratoma and a serous cystadenoma.
