Abstract
Background: Ovary is a paired organ located in pelvic cavity of women. Despite being small in size, ovary is an organ that requires the attention of several specialties like gynaecology, endocrinology and pathology. It is the common site for neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. That is why ovary constitutes a major health concerns for women all over the world.
Aims: To study histomorphological spectrum of ovarian tumors in a tertiary care centre of kumaon region of uttarakhand.
Settings and Design: Cross sectional study.
Material and Methods: This is one year study of 54 cases of ovarian tumors, submitted for histopathological examination in the department of pathology, GMC Haldwani. Clinical history and examination were recorded and histopathological evaluation of specimen was done. Ovarian tumors were classified according to WHO Classification 2016.
Results: Out of total 54 ovarian tumors studied, 40 (74.1%) cases were of benign tumors and 13 (24.1%) were of malignant tumors. There was only 1(1.8%) case of borderline tumor. Among total 54 tumors, 35 (64.8%) were epithelial, 18 (33.3%) were germ cell and 1 (1.8%) was sex-cord stromal tumor. Age of presentation ranged from 12 to 80 years. Pain in lower abdomen was the commonest presentation. Conclusions: This study will provide histomorphological spectrum of ovarian tumors in this region which will help in proper management and prognosis of the patients.
Keywords: Ovarian tumors, epithelial tumors, germ cell tumors, sex cord stromal tumors
