Journal Title: Journal of Drug Discovery and Therapeutics - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Ovary is relatively resistant to most diseases except to neoplasms. Ovarian cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in women. The present study included the clinicopathological evaluation of 180 cases of ovarian neoplasms in Gulbarga over a period of 3 years from June 2006 to May 2007. Ovarian neoplasms accounted for 2.17% of the total number of histopathology specimens and 11.43% of total hysterectomy and ovaritomy specimens submitted to our department during the study period. The peak incidence of ovarian neoplasms was in 3rd, 4th and 5th decade of life. Benign neoplasms were peak in 3rd decade of life and malignant were in the 5th decade. The youngest patient was a 2 years old girl and the oldest was 70 years old lady. The commonest symptoms with which the patient presented was mass per abdomen in 42.2% cases followed by, mass per abdomen and pain abdomen in 22.8% cases. Endometriosis and massive oedema ovary were the tumor like lesions encountered. Ovarian tumors are one of the most researched topics in gynaecological pathology. During the present study of clinicopathological evaluation of 180 cases of ovarian neoplasm, it was found that the incidence of these neoplasms was almost the same in this region when compared with the previous data.
