Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Ovarian tumors present with a wide spectrum of clinical, morphological and histological features. Clinically, they may be misdiagnosed with other non-neoplastic conditions. Early diagnosis is difficult due to its asymptomatic nature, inaccessible site and the limited use of simple methods of diagnosis like cytology. Aim: This study was undertaken with the aim of to study the different histopathological types of ovarian tumors, to analyze the clinical data of the patient in regarding ovarian tumors and to establish the correlation between the clinical signs, symptoms and histological findings. Material and Methods: A prospective study was carried out over a period of 2 years in a tertiary care hospital in order to evaluate the clinico-pathological features of 120 cases of ovarian tumors and their correlation. These tumors were classified as per World Health Organization (WHO) classification of ovarian tumors depending on their most probable cell of origin and histomorphological features. Results: Out of 120 cases of ovarian tumors, 92 cases (76.67%) were benign, 3 cases (2.50%) were borderline and 25 cases (20.83%) were malignant. Surface epithelial - stromal tumors 84 cases (70%) were common followed by Germ cell tumors 27 cases (22.50%), Sex cord – stromal tumors 7 cases (5.83%) and Metastatic tumors in ovary 2 cases (1.67%). Conclusion: Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of death among gynecologic malignancies in female. We know that application of current knowledge and technique would revolutionize the ovarian cancer statistics. This will help large number of women in each year and lead towards the more satisfactory therapy of disease.
