1Pediatric Unit, Salesi Children's Hospital, Ancona, Italy.
Background:
The presence of a rare lesion for pediatric population, encountered in twins, as far as we know, is an exceptional event. The event made the management of a pathology, for which there are no guidelines in the pediatric field, even more delicate.
Case Report:
Two twin sisters came to our attention, a short time after each other, due to the presence of a voluminous abdominal mass. After complete resection, the histological diagnosis was that of a paraovarian cystoadenofibroma.
Discussion:
In pediatric surgery being minimally invasive is mandatory. However in selected cases the only objective, especially speaking of pediatric patients, ais to be radical and to protect the adnexal structures.
