Benign ovarian tumor was found in 85.7% (78 cases) and malignant ovarian tumor was found in 14.3% (13 cases). Age distribution of malignant ovarian tumors showed the highest frequency in the age group 61-65 years compared to benign ovarian tumor. In the larger than 10 cm in tumor size, there were 7 benign (58.3%) and 5 malignant (41.7%) lesion. There was no evidence of malignant tumor according to the parity. In malignant lesion, stage I was seen in 15.4%, stage II in 30.7%, stage III in 7.7%, stage IV in 23.0% and unexplored in 23.0%. Tumor marker of CA 125 in malignant lesion was increased in 69.2%. As the subjective symptoms of benign lesions, no symptom was noticed in 38.4%, but in malignant lesions, lower abdominal pain was noticed in 38.4% as the most common. Bilaterality in benign lesions was noted in 29.4% and the same in malignant lesions was 15.3%.CONCLUSIONS:
