Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Ovarian tumours are infrequently seen in adolescents, but they are the most common genital tumours in this age group. This is a clinical prospective study of adolescent ovarian tumours diagnosed and managed at a tertiary institution over a period of 2 years. Aim was to study the pattern of distribution of ovarian tumours in adolescent age group and analyse the correlation between clinical findings and ultrasound diagnosis with laparotomy findings and histopathological diagnosis. Clinical examination, ultrasonological scoring and intraoperative findings correlated well with histopathologic diagnosis in most cases. 80% of tumours were benign. Majority of tumours were in Stage 1A (84%) and 67% of tumours were of epithelial origin. Majority (>90%) had conservative surgeries thus preserving fertility. Malignant tumours included dysgerminoma, endodermal sinus tumour and malignant teratoma. There was one death which was a case of immature teratoma.
