MARTINEZ CAMILO, Valentín  and  VANEGAS ESTRADA, Rafael. Imflammatory pelvic tumoral disease in adolescents. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2002, vol.28, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3062.

A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was conducted at the Maternal Hospital of Guanabacoa aimed at studying the behavior of the inflammatory pelvic tumoral disease in adolescent patients. The sample was composed of 40 patients that received attention in our center, where they were surveyed to obtain the data for the study. The history of inflammatory pelvic tumoral disease, the IUD as a contraceptive method and abortion were the most significant epidemiological factors. Likewise, pain, fever, menstrual disorder and leukocytosis as well as erythrosedimentation were the most remarkable clinical elements. The medical treatment was the most used and the tubal obstruction was the main sequela. It was concluded that the prognosis is unfavorable for fertility even in those cases whose medical treatment proved to be efficient.
