Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of histopathologically diagnosed ovarian tumour with special reference to sex cord stromal tumours cases attending a tertiary level medical facility based hospital in Guwahati. Total of 102 cases of ovarian tumours were studied. Abdominal mass was the most predominant clinical presentation. The cases were investigated and surgically treated. The formalin fixed specimens ( simple oophorectomy or hysterectomy with unilateral /bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) were examined grossly ,processed routinely and the sections were stained with H& E stain and special stain-Periodic Acid Schiff was done wherever indicated. The microscopic findings were noted and interpreted according to WHO classification. Surface epithelial tumour was the commonest tumour according to the histogenesis. Among the malignant surface epithelial tumours, the incidence of mucinous cystadencarcinoma was 6.86% and serous cystadenocarcinoma was 2.94% . Serous cystadenoma was the commonest tumour in benign category. In germ cell tumour category, benign cystic teratomas constituted highest numbers (26.47%), followed by dysgerminoma(1.96%). Six cases of sex cord stromal tumour ( 4 cases of granulose cell tumour & 2 cases of Sertoli Leydig cell tumour) and 2 cases of kruckenberg tumour were also detected in the study. Sex Cord Stromal tumours comprises of approximately 5% of all ovarian neoplasm.
