Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the clinical and histopathological presentation of ovarian masses. METHOD Hospital based retrospective study done on 200 patients in the Department of Gynaecology, Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad, who are clinically and sonologically diagnosed to have ovarian masses during the period of January 2014 to September 2015. RESULTS The prevalence of ovarian masses in our study was 0.6%. Among the 200 cases, 60.5% were neoplastic and 39.5% were nonneoplastic. Among neoplasms 90% were benign, 8.26% malignant and 1.65% borderline. Serous cystadenoma was the commonest benign tumor (55%) followed by Mucinous (27.5%) and Dermoid (15.5%). Most common malignant ovarian tumor was Serous cystadenocarcinoma (60%). CONCLUSION Ovarian neoplasms have twice the incidence of non-neoplasms. Maximum incidence of malignancy is in between 40-49 years of age group. Non-specific abdominal symptoms should be given more importance, as it may be the only clue to the underlying malignancy. So effective clinical, biochemical and radiological diagnosis helps in early intervention to increase the survival rates in malignancy. Sixty million people are affected with glaucoma worldwide and more than 20 million have PACG. Of these more than 5 million with PACG are blind, which is twice more than POAG. Early detection and timely treatment with Nd:YAG laser iridotomy and associated complications determine visual outcome.
