Adnexal Tumors

Treatment of Children

Girls who have adnexal tumors are treated in Minnesota and Arizona. Adnexal tumor cases are very rare and are diagnosed much less frequently in children and adolescents than in adults. Physicians diagnose and treat pediatric and adult cases in much the same way. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Sometimes a combination of these treatments offers the best chance of success.

In Minnesota, a child-friendly environment, the latest advances in treatments and highly skilled pediatric oncologists are part of Mayo Clinic's program to treat adnexal tumors in young girls. Children who need inpatient care stay at Mayo Eugenio Litta Children's Hospital.

In Florida, pediatric oncologists from Nemours Children's Clinic and surgeons from Mayo Clinic work as a team to provide the care that's best for the child.

Treatment Team

Experienced specialists in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology and Gynecologic Surgery treat children with adnexal tumors. Specialists in other areas including Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology and others are consulted as the child's condition warrants.
