[Non-organ tumors of the lesser pelvis]

An analysis of the author's findings showed a correlation between clinical manifestations of tumor, on the one hand, and its growth rate, size and, to a lesser degree, morphological pattern, on the other. Large size of tumor should not necessarily be interpreted as an indication of inoperability. A better 5-year survival following surgery in benign tumor group (82.1%) as compared with malignant tumors (24.5%) was confirmed.
