  ABSTRACT: Introduction: Gynecologic tumors represent less than 5% of all solid tumors in children. Patients and Method: Through a prospective and descriptive study over 4-years, we included girls aged less than 15 years admitted for a gynecologic tumor. We collected and analyzed the medical data, and paid particular attention to the pre-diagnosis history. Results: Eleven girls met our criteria with a mean age of 8.5 years (2 - 13 years). Abdominal pain, abdominal distension or protrusion of a vaginal mass was the main symptoms. The patients were seen at least by one doctor outside the surgical structure [1] [2] [3]. Four of eleven were received by two different doctors before carrying out the evocative radiological assessment. The average consultation delay was 7-months (24 hours to 18 months). There were nine ovarian tumors and two vaginal tumors. The histological study revealed five of eleven (45%) malignant tumors. Conclusion: Gynecological tumors in children are rare. However, there is a significant proportion of malignant tumors. All doctors can be confronted with it and should not delay the radiological assessment.
