Dr S. Srikanth

Abstract :

Introduction : The ovary is third most common site of primary malignancy in the female genital tract, preceeded only by endometrial and cervical cancer. Both benign and malignant tumours occur in the ovaries.The present study was done to know the various histopathological variants in ovarian lesions, the age incidence of various ovarian lesions. Materials and Methods: A retrospective and prospective study of all the samples sent for histopathology for a period of two years during June 2016–May 2018 was done to assess the trend of ovarian lesions. Cases were analyzed in detail regarding complete history, clinical examination and other findings. Results: Total of 90 ovarian lesions were studied and among them , 50 were non neoplastic lesions and 40 were neoplastic lesions. Among non neoplastic lesions follicular cyst was the most common lesion and predominantly they were bilateral followed by cortical stromal hyperplasia. The majority of the cases were seen in the age group 41–50 years. Conclusion: Ovarian tumours are one of the major health problem in females. Their proper recognition is therefore important to allow appropriate, usually conservative therapy. Histopathological study plays a major role by which we can assess the staging and grading of the lesion which will be greatly helpful in the management of the disease thereby reducing the morbidity and burden associated with it.
