Dr G Sudhakar, Dr V. Srinivas Kumar

Abstract :

Ovary is a unique organ in the body which can be seat of large number of neoplasm with wide spectrum of histological types. In general ovary is a complex structure from an emyological, anatomic and functional stand point of view. So it is very hard to understand ovarian growths. Cancer of ovary is third most frequent gynaecological malignancy after those of cervix and endometrium. It carries a higher mortality rate than all other genital cancer deaths in female. Accurate histological diagnosis is often a critical factor in achieving an optimum treatment response. Silverberg made an important point that Histological typing is more valuable than grading in predicting survival But grading is better at predicting tumour responsiveness to chemotherapy and even as a guide as to which agents should be used. So both type and grade should be specified in the pathology report
