The ovarian cysts are mostly nonneoplastic in children and could be categorize d as follicular, simple, and corpus luteum cysts. Follicle cysts are the most co mmon type in both neonates and older children. The rete ovarii rarely gives rise to cysts and to benign and malignant tumors. The rete cysts are most often foun d in postmenopausal women and have not been reported in children yet. We describ e herein a case of giant rete cyst of ovary in an 11-year-old girl and discuss the clinical and histopathologic features of such cysts.
