Abstract
Background: Ovarian cancer is a common malignancy affecting Indian women and is an important cause of morbidity & mortality especially in elderly women. Main aim was to study the type of ovarian tumour in post menopausal ladies – Benign/Malignant – Histolopathological type & management and follow-up
Method: Retrospective analysis of cases from Jan 2015 – Dec 2016 (2 years)
Results: Out of 3372 admission in the gynaecology ward, incidence of ovarian masses in post menopausal ladies is 2%. Among the ovarian masses 54% were benign tumours, 4% were borderline malignancy and 42% were malignant tumours. Among malignancy serous cystadenocarcinoma accounts for 60% & mucinous cystadenocarcinoma accounts for 40%. Out of the malignant cases all are primary ovarian tumour.
Conclusion: In post menopausal age group, malignant ovarian tumours are common. Among that serous cystadenocarcinoma is more.
Keywords: ovarian cancer, postmenopausal, female genital tract.
