Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Pathology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the cause of a high case-fatality ratio, and most of the cases are diagnosed in late stages. Aims and objectives: To find the frequency of different types of histomorphological types and their correlation with age, side and size distribution and how it helps in managements of these lesions. Methodology: A retrospective analysis of all malignant ovarian tumours received and processed at the Pathology Department of Hassan institute of medical sciences. Results: The ovarian tumours included 22 borderline and malignant cases. Surface epithelial tumours (Borderline and malignant tumours) was the most common accounting for 56.6%. Next common group was Sex cord stromal tumours constituting 26.1% followed by Germ cell tumours accounting for 17.3%. Conclusion: There was single case of Tertoma, Endometrioid carcinoma and Malignant mixed germ cell tumour constituting 4.3%. Maximum number of cases occurred in 4th decade of life.
