Abstract
Introduction: Ovarian tumours had a wide spectrum of clinical, morphological and histological pattern which affects their management. Ovarian tumour can occur at any age in a woman’s life and differ in type according to age. The present study was done to assess the demographic profile of the patients, clinical presentation and histopathology of the ovarian tumours. Material and methods: His was a prospective observational study done in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, S.M.S. Medical College, Jaipur. 150 patients presented with ovarian tumours were included in the study after obtaining written informed consent. Data regarding demographic profile, clinical presentation, histopathology were recorded in the Microsoft excel sheet and analyzed. Results: Malignant ovarian tumours were found in 21.3% patients. Mean age of the patient with malignant ovarian tumours (45.09±14.33) was significantly more than with benign ovarian tumours (33.07±12.59). 40.6% patients with malignant tumours were postmenopausal in contrast to 18.6% patients with benign tumours. Pain abdomen was the commonest presenting symptoms irrespective to the nature of the tumour. 78.1% patients with malignant tumours had serum levels of CA 125 levels >35 U/ml in contrast to 11.1% with benign tumours. On histopathology, commonest benign tumour was serous cystadenoma (39.3%) and malignant tumour was papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma (13.6%). Conclusion: Majority of the ovarian tumours in our study was benign still 21.3% tumours were malignant. They had nonspecific symptom and different histopathological spectrum so early diagnosis and preoperative discrimination between benign and malignant tumour will help in effective planning of the treatment and reducing the morbidity and mortality.
