Abstract :

Background: Wide range of diseases occur in the ovary viz. non–neoplastic cysts, inflammations to neoplasms. Histopathological evaluation provides specific diagnosis and aids plan of management. Aim and Objective: To study ovarian lesions on histopathology and analyse various characteristics and factors associated with these lesions. Material and method: A hospital based retrospective cross–sectional study conducted over a period of fifteen months. Histopathological study of 124 cases of ovarian lesions was done, characteristics and associated factors analysed. Results: Neoplastic lesions (90 cases, 72.6%) were more common than non–neoplastic lesions (34 cases 27.4%). Most common benign and malignant neoplasm was serous cystadenoma (34.44%) and serous cystadenocarcinoma (8.90%) respectively. Bilateral involvement (57.14%), solid and mixed consistency was found commonly in malignant tumors. Conclusion: Ovarian lesions show wide variations ranging from innocuous to overtly malignant lesions. Histopathology plays key role in diagnosis and aids proper management.
