Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: Ovary is a structure with an embryological, anatomic and functional complexity. Ovaries are resistant to diseases, still can be the seat of neoplastic lesions such as benign, malignant , primary, secondary and can be solid and cystic and exhibit mixed patterns with wide spectrum of histological types. Methods: Retrospective study of ovary was done for period of one year at Department of Pathology, Kilpauk Medical College, Chennai. We studied 83 cases of ovarian tumors received in formalin, were subjected to histopathological examination. Immunohistochemistry was used as and when required. Results: In total, 83 ovarian tumor specimens were examined. Out of which 74 cases (62%) were benign,3 cases (2.5% ) borderline and 6 cases (5%) were malignant. Most common histological type was surface epithelial tumors (76%) followed by germ cell tumors (18%). Conclusion: Epithelial tumors are the commonest variety of ovarian tumors. Our study is focused on incidence, bilaterality and age distribution of ovarian neoplasms. Spectrum of ovarian neoplasm is wide with harmless simple cystic lesions and fatal aggressive malignant lesions. The present study is aimed to observe the incident rates and distribution of the various neoplastic lesions of the ovary.
