Abstract:
The treatment of large, asymptomatic, neonatal ovarian cysts is controversial. Some authors recommend surgical intervention if the cyst diameter is greater than 5 cm. We report a case of an antenatally diagnosed ovarian cyst with a diameter of 6.6 cm. It involuted spontaneously within 8 months after birth without complications. We propose a conservative management of large, uncomplicated neonatal ovarian cysts. Close observation with serial ultrasound examinations may help avoid unnecessary operations.
