Abstract

Background: Ovarian tumours  are one of the most prevalent  gynaecological tumours in females . They often present in mid-decade of life insidiously. Ovarian cancer is the most frequent cause of death from gynaecological cancers.

Aims and Objectives: To study  histological pattern of Ovarian Tumours in Bihar

Material and Methods: Institutional Ethical Committee approval and written informed consent from patients were taken. Ovarian specimens of 145 patients with suspected ovarian mass were studied for histopathological examination during the period of October 2012 to October 2014.

Results: Mean age of cases was 44.3 ± 9.5 years. Majority of the cases of  ovarian were  in age group of  20 – 40 years ( 63.45 % ) .Age rage was from 21 years to 69 years. 123 cases (84.83 % ) were benign ,3 cases (2.07 % ) were borderline and 19 cases (13.1 %) were malignant. There were 111 cases (76.55 % ) of surface tumours , 31 cases (21.38 %)  germ cell, 1 case ( 0.69 % ) of sex cord , 2 cases (1.38 % ) of metastatic ovarian tumours . Among benign tumours , there were 96 cases of  Serous cyst adenoma ( 66.21 % ) , 4 cases of Mature cystic Teratoma , 1 case of Serous cyst adenofibroma (0.69 % ), 1 case of Teratoma with Struma ovarii (0.69 % ) .Among malignant tumours,  there were 12 cases (63.16 % ) of Serous cyst adenocarcinoma , 3 cases (15.79 % )  of Immature teratoma , 2 cases of (10.53 % ) Mucinoius cyst adenocarcinaoma, 1 case (5.26 %) of Krukenberg tumour and Granulosa cell tumour each .

Conclusion: Serous cyst adenoma are the most common benign ovarian tumour found in ovarian specimens with peak incidence at 20 – 50 years.
