Ovaries are common site of non–neoplastic and neoplastic lesions. They can present at any age group and exhibit a wide variation in structure and biological behaviour. 72 cases of ovarian lesions were studied over a period of 1 year (Study period 2011 – 2012) Sections were stained with H&E stain. Majority of the lesions were neoplastic (83.33%) with surface epithelial tumors being the commonest followed by Germ cell and Sex–cord stromal tumors. Non neoplastic lesions constituted a small group (16.67%) Most of the benign tumors occurred between 21– 40 years of age, while the malignant lesions presented commonly between 41–60 years. The most common histological types were serous cystadenoma (35.72%), followed by mucinous cystadenoma (30.95%) and mature teratoma (19.04%) Major proportion of malignant ovarian tumors was contributed by surface epithelial tumors (78.55%) Serous cystadenocarcinoma was the predominant malignant tumor (57.15%). Borderline tumors accounted for 23.33% of the cases.
