Histomorphological Study of Ovarian Tumors: An Institutional Experience of 2 Years
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Ovarian tumors have various histomorphological patterns. Histopathological examination plays an important role is classifying ovarian tumors for a better prognosis. Ovarian tumors are classified into surface epithelial tumors, germ cell tumors, and sex cord-stromal tumors. This study was done to know various histomorphological patterns of ovarian tumors. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to study the histopathology of lesions of the ovary with regard to the standard classification of ovarian tumors and to determine the relative incidence of these histomorphological patterns among different age groups of patients. Materials and Methods: A 2-year prospective study carried out at SVS Medical College and Hospital, Mahabubnagar, Telangana, in the Department of Pathology from June 2015 to May 2017. On microscopy, histomorphological patterns of ovarian tumors were noted. Sections were given and slides were stained hemotoxylin and eosin, and special stains were done wherever necessary. Results: Out of total 50 cases, 82% were benign and 18% were malignant. Histologically, surface epithelial tumor was the most common (80%), followed by germ cell tumors (16%) and sex cord-stromal tumors (4%). Age incidence of benign tumors was age group of 21-40 years and malignant 41-65 years. Conclusion: Surface epithelial tumors were most common followed by germ cell tumors. The majority of tumors were reported among the age group of 35-45 years.
