Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
The ovarian neoplasm which affects a significant number of the female population has become increasingly important and it constitutes 30% of female genital cancer. The ovarian neoplasm has gradually increased the mortality rate in female cancers. Approximately 80% of these are benign tumors. Here we present a retrospective study of 127 ovarian tumors in a rural population. Our result showed 88.2% were benign and 11.8% were malignant. The surface epithelial tumors were the commonest, accounting for 82.7%. Serous cystadenoma (40.2%) was the most common benign tumor and mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (3.1%) was the most common malignant tumor. In germ cell tumors, mature cystic teratoma (10.2%) constitutes the maximum and in sex cord stromal tumors, germ cell tumor (3.1%) was predominant. A solitary case of metastatic tumor was found in our study
