Abstract :

Background : ovarian lesions includes both functional and neoplastic lesions. Most common functional lesions are corpus luteal and follicular cyst . Neoplastic lesions include surface epithelial tumors, sex cord stromal tumors ,germ cell tumors and metastasis.Aim of the study is to determine the different histopathological lesions in various age groups and frequency of benign and malignant lesions

Meterials and methods: This is a retrospective study of 154 cases from january 2015 to july 2017. Specimens include ovarian masses and hysterectomy along with ovaries. The gross specimens were fixed in 10% formalin and adequate representative samples were taken for histological study. Hematoxylin and eosin stained slides were examined.

Results: Out of the 154 tumors, 128(83.1%) were surface epithelial, 17(11%) were germ cell tumors, 5 (4.2%) were sex cord stromal tumors and 4(2.5%) were metastasis. Most common histological type was surface epithelial tumors(83.1%) followed by germ cell tumors(11%). Most common benign tumor was serous cystadenoma and malignant was serous cystadenocarcinoma. Surface epithelial tumors were common in 3^rd and 4^th decade where as malignant tumors in 5^th decade.

Conclusion: serous cystadenoma is the most common benign ovarian tumor and malignant tumors are common in 5^th decade. Histological type helps in deciding further management.
