Histopathological Analysis of Neoplastic Lesions of the Ovary: A 5-Year Retrospective Study at Tertiary Health Care Centre
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Ovarian tumors represent about 30% of all cancers of the female genital system and 4% of all cancers in women. Indian trend analysis reveal a steady increase in the age-standardized incidence rate of ovarian cancer over past years, comprising up to 8.7% of cancers in different parts of the country. Aim and objective: To study the morphological pattern of benign and malignant ovarian neoplasm in various age presenting at our center over a period of 5-years. Material and methods: The present study was conducted retrospectively in the department of Pathology, BPS, GMC, Khanpur Kalan, Sonipat. Data was collected after reviewing cases from 2012 to 2016 (5years). All cases of ovarian neoplasm both primary (benign and malignant) and metastatic were included in the study. Results: Of the total 152 ovarian specimens that presented during the study period, 119 were benign, 5 were borderline tumors and 28 malignant. Most of the benign tumors occurred between 20-40 years of age, while malignant tumors presented commonly after 50 years of age. Out of these only 24 cases had bilateral ovarian neoplasm. Surface epithelial tumors were the most common type followed by germ cell tumors. Conclusion: Benign ovarian tumors were more common than malignant ones across all age groups. On morphological grounds, tumors originating from surface epithelium were the most common variant.
