HistopathologicalSpectrum of Ovarian Tumors-A Three Year Retrospective Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Context: Ovarian tumours represent about 30% of all cancers of the female genital system. They manifest in a wide spectrum of clinical, morphological and histological features. Aim: To evaluate the incidence of ovarian tumors with respect to age, laterality, gross features, biological nature and to classify different histological types according to recent WHO classification (2014) in the population attending our hospital. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 191 cases of histologically proven ovarian tumours, over a period of three years. These were reclassified according to WHO classification of ovarian tumours 2014. Results:Both benign and malignant tumors were common among 4th to 5th decades. Out of 191 cases studied, Surface epithelial tumors were the commonest tumors (154; 80.6%) followed by germ cell tumors (25; 30.5%). Mucinous cystadenoma was the commonest benign tumour whereas serous cystadenocarcinoma was the commonest malignant ovarian tumour. Conclusions: The prognosis and varying therapeutic strategies of ovarian tumours necessitate an accurate pathological evaluation. Although newer techniques like IHC and molecular analysis have made the diagnosis easier and more precise, in the institutes with provision of limited resources, histopathological study is still the gold standard in diagnosing most of these tumours.
