Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Ovarian tumours are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in women. Relative frequency of these tumours show geographical variations and many of them are symptomless till they are clinically advanced. The present cross-sectional study focuses on various histological patterns of ovarian tumours, their distribution in different age groups and to compare it with other studies in patients admitted at a teaching hospital in Imphal. The benign, borderline and malignant tumours were 81.5%, 6.5% and 12.0% respectively. Surface epithelial tumours account for majority of the cases (65.3%), followed by germ cell tumours (33.1%). Serous cystadenoma was the most common tumour (43.6%) and mature cystic teratoma (37.6%) was the second most common type. Among the malignant neoplasms, mucinous cystadenocarcinoma emerges as the most common type (33.3%). Bilaterality was seen in 4.8%. Of all ovarian tumours, benign tumours outnumbered malignant ones in our study and were seen more commonly in younger patients except for immature teratomas which were seen in patients ≤ 20 years. Early diagnosis and treatment is of vital importance especially in the malignant types to lower the case fatality.
