Dr Manjula Praveen Biradar, Dr Praveen B Biradar

Abstract :

 Ovarian tumors(OT) account for the fifth most common cause of cancer related death in females involving variety of neoplastic entities. Diagnosis of various patterns of ovarian tumors is very important in the treatment and prognosis.

Aim : To study the occurrence of different histopathological types of ovarian tumors and their correlation with other studies.

Methods : A total of 105 cases of ovarian tumors were studied at the Department of Pathology, JSS Medical college and Hospital, Mysore, during the period of Jan 2004 to Dec 2005. Clinical presentation and physical findings of all the cases were recorded and tumors classified according to WHO classification.

Results : Among 105 cases, Surface epithelial tumors(SET) formed the largest group 67.16% followed by germ cell tumors(GCT) 22.86%, sex–cord stromal tumors(SCST) 8.57% and metastatic tumors 0.96% each. The commonest benign tumor was serous cystadenoma 35(44.87%) cases and malignant tumor being serous cystadenocarcinoma 9(39.13%) cases. The age range was 2–75yrs and abdominal mass was the commonest clinical presentation followed by pain abdomen.

Conclusion : SET are the commonest ovarian tumors followed by GCT as observed in other studies, both constituting 91.16%. Histopathological classification of OT along with clinical stage forms an integral part of evaluation of optimum mode of therapy.
