OVARIAN MATURATION AND CYST FORMATION IN CHILDREN

DONALD W. POLHEMUS M.D.1

1 The Departments of Pathology and Pediatrics, Children's Hospital, and the University of Southern California School of Medicine, Los Angeles.

The results of study of a number of ovaries removed from infants and children at autopsy are presented. Follicle maturation and cyst formation were found to be extensive even in earliest infancy. The relationship of these findings to present knowledge and current theories regarding histogenesis of cysts is discussed.
