The cyst can grow to a large size and may cause abdominal pain or discomfort. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the cyst.

The most common symptom of serous cystadenoma of childhood is a painless, slow-growing abdominal mass. Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. In some cases, the mass may cause a blockage of the intestines, leading to abdominal distention and a feeling of fullness.

The exact cause of serous cystadenoma of childhood is unknown. However, some researchers believe that it may be caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors.

The treatment for serous cystadenoma of childhood is typically surgical removal of the cyst. Depending on the size and location of the cyst, this may be done through a laparoscopic procedure or an open surgery. In some cases, the cyst may be monitored with regular imaging tests to ensure that it is not growing or causing any other problems. In some cases, chemotherapy or radiation may be used to shrink the cyst before surgery.
