Doctor's answer:

An 8-year-old child discovering an ovarian cyst requires careful examination of tumor markers. The prognosis is not very optimistic, so it is crucial to confirm whether it is benign or malignant and to promptly adopt effective treatment. If it is malignant, surgical treatment is necessary. The likelihood of an ovarian cyst being malignant is relatively high. The younger the age, the higher the chance of it recurring malignantly. Therefore, conservative treatment is not recommended, and one must not be careless.
