Ovarian lesions are one of the major causes of gynecological problems in females

Aim: This study was done to analyze the frequency of ovarian lesions, their clinico–histological features in a rural set up.

 Materials and Methods: This study was carried out at Department of Pathology, Government Medical college, Miraj, Maharashtra, over period of 4.5years.

 Results: Out of total 87 lesions of the ovary, neoplastic lesions  were more common  (67 case–77.02%) than non–neoplastic lesions (20 cases–22.98%). Out of 67 neoplastic lesions, Surface epithelial stromal tumours were the most common ovarian neoplasm (43 cases–64.18%). Overall, Serous cystadenoma was the most common ovarian tumour (31.34%). Among total 20 non–neoplastic lesions, follicular cysts were most common (46.15%).

Conclusion: The morphologic diversity of ovarian masses poses many challenges. Clinical data, operative findings and gross features of the lesions may provide important, and at time decisive diagnostic clues.
