A wide spectrum of neoplasms are encountered in the ovary because of the totipotential and multipotential capacity of ovarian germ cells and mesenchymal cells Ovarian neoplasms are the cause of highest mortality in female genital tract neoplasmsAim this study was undertaken to assess the age distribution presentation and the morphological variants of ovarian neoplasmsMaterials and Methods a retrospective and prospective study was undertaken in the department of pathology from January 2013 to December 2017Results out of 105 cases analysed 9810 were primary ovarian neoplasms while 190 were metastatic tumors Majority 8571 were benign while 857 were malignant Commonest tumors were the surface epithelial tumors 7238 followed by 1809 germ cell tumors and 761 sex cord stromal tumors Benign tumors were common in 4th decade while malignant were common in the 5th decade The most common presenting complaint was pain in abdomenConclusion Evaluating the exact morphological type is essential in todays era of targeted therapy for cancer Further studies on larger population groups are essential to evaluate the outcome with respect to histopathological typing grading and staging of ovarian tumors Keywords Ovarian tumor Histopathology
