Histopathological analysis of neoplastic and non neoplastic lesions of ovary: A study of one hundred cases
Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: The study was done to know the various histopathological variants in ovarian lesions, the age incidence of various ovarian lesions and to assess the frequency of unilateral and bilateral lesions. Materials and Methods: A retrospective and prospective analysis of all the samples sent for histopathology for a period of three years during June 2008–May 2011 was done to assess the trend of ovarian lesions. Cases were analyzed in detail regarding complete history, clinical examination and other findings. Results:Out of one hundred ovarian lesions, 45 were non neoplastic lesions and 55 were neoplastic lesions. Out of the neoplastic lesions 46 were benign and 9 were malignant. Among non neoplastic lesions follicular cyst was the most common lesion and predominantly they were bilateral followed by cortical stromal hyperplasia. The majority of the cases were seen in the age group of 31-60 years. Conclusion: : Majority of the ovarian tumors has been observed between 3rd to 6th decades. Their proper recognition is therefore important to allow appropriate, usually conservative therapy. Histopathological study plays a major role by which we can assess the staging and grading of the lesion which will be greatly helpful in the management of the disease thereby reducing the morbidity and burden associated with it.
