Dr. K Vandana

Abstract :

 ABSTRACT AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Ovarian masses are one of the major causes of gynaecological problems. To study the distribution of age, parity, symptoms, ultrasound findings, laterality, size and histological pattern of ovarian masses.   MATERIALS AND METHODS: It is a retrospective study of women who had surgical management for ovarian masses, from may 2011 to april 2013 at ASRAM general Hospital, Eluru,Andhra pradesh.   RESULTS: There were 62 cases of ovarian masses during 2 years study period. Majority of cases occurred in the reproductive age group with the youngest patient being 17 years of age and the oldest,68 years. Most common age group is 21 to 40 years.Ovarian masses are also frequently encountered in post hysterectomised patients. Most of the patients (59.6%) presented with abdominal pain either acute or chronic. Majority of ovarian cysts are benign with few cases being malignant. The most common type of ovarian tumor was serous cystadenoma (43.5% ).   CONCLUSIONS: Our study reveals that the presentation of ovarian tumors is variable. They manifest a wide spectrum of incidence, clinical symptoms and histological features. Epithelial tumours are the commonest variety of ovarian tumours followed by Germ cell tumours.  Serous cystadenoma was the most common benign tumor.
