Surgical management of ovarian fibromas in young patients with Gorlin syndrome: a case series and review of the literature
Ovarian fibroma presentation and treatment varied widely among pediatric patients with Gorlin syndrome, and the presence of multiple and bilateral ovarian lesions raises important considerations regarding the optimal surgical approach and surveillance. Ovarian conservation should be prioritized in patients with Gorlin syndrome, because they are at risk of iatrogenic oophorectomy with their initial or repeat surgical management.
