Among the 33 neoplastic ovarian lesions 25(75.7%) cases were benign, 2(6.1%) case was at borderline and 6 (18.2%) cases were malignant. In benign ovarian neoplasm, most commonly seen lesion were serous cystadenoma followed by benign cystic teratoma. In malignant cases, maximum were of serous cystadenocarcinoma, followed by endometrioid carcinoma and 2 cases of sex-cord stromal tumours (fibromas) were observed metastatic tumours.
