Clinicopathilogical study of ovarian tumors
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Pathology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The ovary is complex in its embryology, histology, and steroido-genesis and has the potential to develop malignancy. Ovarian cancer accounts for 3% of all the cancers in females. In the recent era also, there is still scarcity of simple, non invasive, reliable screening test for the diagnosis of ovarian tumors. As the ovarian tumors present at advanced stage, it increases the morbidity and mortality. In order to increase overall survival rate early diagnosis and staging is necessary, for which we have to depend on clinical and histopathological examination and its correlation. It was a prospective and descriptive study carried out over a period of two years in the department of pathology in the tertiary care teaching hospital. Total 100 cases were studied. The youngest case was 18 years old and the oldest one was 74 years. Maximum number of ovarian tumor was found in the 4th decade of life. Pain in abdomen (71%) was the commonest clinical presentation in cases of ovarian tumors. It was followed by lump in abdomen (50%), GI disturbances (23%), Abnormal Vaginal bleeding (17%) and Ascites (12%). Benign tumors (74%) were predominant followed by malignant (23%) and 03% cases were borderline. Among the benign category, Serous Cystadenoma (27) was predominant followed by mucinous Cystadenoma (23). Other benign tumors were mature cystic teratoma (20), Brenner tumor (02) and Fibrothecoma (02). Serous Cystadenocarcinoma (10) was the predominant malignant lesion followed by mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (07). Other malignant lesions were Dysgerminoma (03), Granulosa cell tumor (02) and Endometrioid carcinoma (01). Surface epithelial tumors were the commonest tumors contributing for 73% cases followed by Germ cell tumors (23%) and Sex cord stromal tumor in 04% cases.
