ABSTRACT
One hundred seventeen solid ovarian tumours, diagnosed histologically during the period between 1971 and 1990, were studied. The overall incidence of solid ovarian tumours was 23.4% of all the ovarian tumours (500 cases) studied. Of 117 solid ovarian tumours 19 (16.2%) were benign and the rest 98 (83.8%) were malignant. Epithelial tumours were the commonest (28.2%) followed by germ cell tumours (22.2%), sex cord stromal tumours (21.4%), metastatic tumours (19.7%) and non-specific tumours (8.5%). The average age (26.8 years) was comparatively low for germ cell tumours otherwise in other groups it ranged between 42 and 45 years. Below 15 years immature teratoma was diagnosed in 4 cases and granulosa cell tumour in 2 cases. Bilateral tumours were seen in 22 cases (23.2%) out of 95 cases observed. Pain and fullness in the pelvic region were observed in 94.9% cases. Varied morphological picture was seen in 6 cases of endometrioid carcinoma. Dysgerminoma constituted 6.8% of solid ovarian tumours. Gliomatosis peritonei was noticed in one case of immature teratoma. Granulosa cell tumour accounted for 11.1% of solid ovarian tumours. Of 23 cases of metastatic tumours, Krukenberg tumour was noticed in 88.9% cases. Diagnostic problems as well as prognostic factors of solid ovarian tumours have been discussed.
