Clinicopathological Study of Ovarian Tumors: A 2-year Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: The ovarian tumors manifest a wide spectrum of clinical, morphological, and histological features. Their complex nature, unpredictable behavior, and prognosis and varying therapeutic strategies necessitate an accurate diagnosis. Aims and Objectives: The aim is to study the incidence, age-related occurrence, clinical presentation, gross and various histopathological patterns of ovarian tumors and also to classify them according to World Health Organization (WHO) classification in our institute. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 120 cases of histopathologically proven ovarian tumors, reported in the Department of Pathology, Narayana Medical College, Nellore over a 2 year period (June 2011 to May 2013). These were classified according to the WHO classification of ovarian tumors (2003). Results: Of the 120 tumors studied, 108 (90%) were benign and 12 (10%) were malignant. Surface epithelial tumors were the most common (84.2%) followed by germ cell tumors (10%). Serous cystadenomas (56.67%) were the most common benign tumors, whereas serous cystadenocarcinomas (25%) were the most common malignant tumors. Benign tumors peaked between 31 and 40 years, whereas malignant tumors were common after 50 years. Mass abdomen and pain abdomen were the common modes of presentation. Conclusions: Ovarian tumors are quite common in our setup and epithelial tumors are the most common variety of ovarian tumors. The histological type of ovarian tumor correlates with the prognosis of the tumor.
