Re: Pediatric DermoidFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comMon Jun 24 10:44:10 1996
<< I would remove it now. The malignant potential of such a mass in a young child is greater. I think this is NOT a case for conservative management. Further, I would NOT consider laparoscopic surgery in such a small patient. I would involve a pediatric surgeon and explore her.>> I kind of agree. And regarding the laparoscope, one of the reasons for using it is less scarring and less recovery time. However, in a kid this young, the scars will be absolutely minimal and the recovery time will probably be about 24 hours... ************************************************* doctorjoe@aol.com "All things are connected.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
