Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is the second leading cause of mortality among all gynaecological cancers remain undetected until the advanced stage. Ovarian lesions exhibit a wide range of clinical, morphological and histological features. The aim of the current study was to identify the pattern of pathologies involving ovarian mass lesions which were received for histopathological evaluation in one-year duration at a tertiary hospital in coastal district of Andhra Pradesh during the period January 2018 to December 2018 and to correlate them with clinical presentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross sectional study was carried out among all the ovarian specimens sent for histopathological examination. RESULTS A total of 227 cases were reviewed. Neoplastic lesions of the ovary constituted 44.0% of all cases received; rest were functional cysts. Of the 100 neoplastic lesions, Serous cystadenoma of the ovary constituted the predominant neoplastic lesion diagnosed (59%) followed by benign cystic teratoma (12%). Malignant lesions constituted 10.0% of all pathologies. The age of patients ranged from 15 years to 70 years with mean age of presentation of 37.92 years. 98. % of the lesions were unilateral. CONCLUSION The majority of ovarian lesions received for evaluation were benign and unilateral. Most patients were in the third to sixth decades of life. Development of methods for early diagnosis of ovarian neoplasia is essential as most patients present with vague symptoms at a later stage.
