Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3

Abstract

Background: Ovarian cancer is third most common gynaecological malignancy with highest mortality1. Among them epithelial ovarian cancer is often called the “silent killer” because the disease is not often detected until it reaches toan advance stage. Methods: This observational study conducted on 62 patients from February 2012 to October 2016 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in GMERS Medical College, Gotri Vadodara. Along with clinical details of the patients, histopathological report details were observed. Histopathological reporting was carried out at our Pathology department. Results: Out of total 62 patients of ovarian tumours,19.35% were non neoplastic and80.65 % were neoplastic. Among neoplastic tumours 84 % were benign, 12 % were malignant and only 4 % were borderline.41.93% of ovarian lesionwere between 40-59 years of age group. Symptoms were vague and non-specific so early diagnosis of the ovarian cancer becomes difficult. Histological pattern of distribution of ovarian tumour shows that most of ovarian tumour were surface epithelial tumour. Age wise distribution of study population showed that most of the surface epithelial tumour were more common in 3rd to 5th decade while most of germ cell tumour were more frequent in 2nd and 3rd decade. Conclusions: As a lack of any effective screening test early detection of ovarian tumour becomes difficult. for better patient survival and over all prognosis, there is need to increase awareness of population so timely approach toclinician can help detecting disease. Appropriate examination and investigations were must to diagnose the disease at an early stage so treatment can be started and morbidity and mortality can be reduced.
