Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
Introduction: Ovarian Tumours account for fifth most common cause of cancer related deaths in women worldwide. It accounts for 6% of all cancers among women. Though ovarian tumour is one of the treatable cancers due to its sensitivity to different modalities of anticancer therapy, it is frequently asymptomatic until it reaches an advanced stage. Objectives: To study the incidence, histopathological spectrum and clinical correlates of ovarian tumours at a tertiary care teaching hospital. Methods: A study was undertaken during a period of one year (1st October 2017 – 30th September 2018). The tumours were classified according to WHO classification after thorough examination of haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) slides. Data on clinical presentation were recorded in each case. Results: There were a total of 107cases. Surface Epithelial Tumours (SET) emerged as the commonest variety accounting for 57.01%, followed by Germ Cell Tumours (GCT) (23.36%). Sex Cord Stromal Tumours (SCST)(0.93%) and metastatic tumours accounted for 1.87%. The age range was 8-70 years. Metastatic tumours involved younger age groups. Abdominal mass was the commonest clinical presentation followed by pain abdomen. Conclusion: Ovarian tumour were found to occur in wide range of ages (8-70 years) with abdominal mass and pain abdomen being the commonest clinical presentation. SET and GCT together constitute the majority of the cases (80.37%). An accurate histological diagnosis and staging are the factors therapeutically and prognostically important.
