clinicohistopathological analysis of 110 ovarian tumors

ABSTRACT

To evaluate clinical presentations and histological type of ovarian tumours. Design: Retrospective analysis. Settings Gynaecology and histopathology departments of CMH Kharian. Subjects: All the cases whose ovarian tumours were removed and were subjected to histopathology, during the study period. Ninety seven benign and 13 malignant tumours were seen. The age range was 8-80 years but majority of the patients [60%] were between 25-44 years. Most of the patients [89%] were multipara and bleeding P/V was the predominant symptom [79%], followed by pain abdomen [77%], pelvic mass [73%] and vague gastrointestinal symptoms [35%]. The majority of the tumours were unilateral [99] and maximum size was 30 cm in diameter. Purely cystic tumours were most common [78%], whereas 17% were semisolid and 5% solid. On histology majority of the benign tumours were dysfunctional cysts type and malignant were serous cystadenocarcinoma. Benign cysts were mostly dysfunctional cysts so promotion of conservative treatment is recommended. Nulliparity is not associated factor in our cases and late reporting in advanced stages of disease is common
