Abstract
Ovarian masses are a common gynaecological problem. Majority of them are non neoplasic or functional cysts, the others which are fewer in number are neoplastic, whether benign or malignant. This is a retrospective study done in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Vinayaka Missions Medical College and Hospital, Karaikal, Union Territory of Puducherry in the calender year 2017. All the patients who attended gynaecology OPD and who were diagnosed to have Ovarian masses were included in the study. Out of 8564 patients who attended the Gynaecological OPD, 297 patients had ovarian masses, out of which 96 patients underwent surgery. Based on histopathology report, of the women with neoplastic tumours, 83.3% were benign and 16.7% were malignant.CA 125 is increased (>35 U/mL) in 38% of patients who were operated. The average CA-125 in benign Neoplastic lesions is 17U/mL and the average CA 125 in Neoplastic malignant lesions is 112 U/mL. Commonest malignancy was Serous Cyst adenocarcinoma (81.8%) followed by Mucinous Cyst adenocarcinoma (18%).
