Abstract: Ovary is the most important organ, as it is concerned with the reproduction of progeny. Ovary is also unique in the variety of lesions that can arise from it. Ovarian cancer accounts for about 3% of all cancers in women. According to the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data ovarian tumors represent about 27% of all female genital cancers and account for 52% of deaths caused by female genital cancers. Ovarian cancer is the ninth most common cancer among women, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers. It ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women, accounting for more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system1. A woman’s risk of having an ovarian cancer at birth is 1-1.5% and that of dying from it is 0.5%.2. Surface epithelial tumors were the commonest variety constituting (69.46 %) of all the ovarian tumors followed by germ cell tumors (21.67%), sex-cord stromal tumors (8.37%) and metastatic tumors (0.49%). In the present study a total number of 203 cases of ovarian tumors were studied. Among 203 cases, 150 cases (73.89%) were benign, 2 cases (0.98%) were of borderline and 51 cases (25.12%) were malignant. Keywords: Ovarian Tumors & Histopathological.
