Introduction: Ovarian teratoma is one of the most common tumor types in pediatric ovarian tumor. Ovarian tumor is rare, which constitutes only 1% of all tumors in pediatric patients. Both imaging and laboratory tools are needed and the management in the past decades seem to be giving good outcome. Case Series: We report 11 cases of ovarian teratoma who came to our institution during the period of 2016-2019. Conclusion: Proper examinations should be done in diagnosing ovarian teratoma. Surgery (tumor excision along with or without oophorectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy) and chemotherapy (in malignant teratomas) are the standard therapy for ovarian teratoma and appeared to be quite satisfying result.
