SPECTRUM OF OVARIAN LESIONS IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 19
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian tumours are the 7th most common cause of mortality. About 80% ovarian lesions are benign. The tumours that occur in the ovary are usually primary and metastatic cases have occasionally been reported. We wanted to analyse the spectrum of lesions in ovary. METHODS This is a retrospective study done in 3228 women who came to our hospital during the period January 2017-December 2018. All patients who had undergone ovariotomy were included in the study irrespective of whether hysterectomy was done or not. RESULTS A total of 3228 cases were examined of which 47.5% cases were normal. Non-neoplastic lesions constituted 38.7%. Among the neoplastic lesions, 12.7% cases were benign and 0.86% were malignant. CONCLUSIONS Ovarian tumours include a wide spectrum of lesions. Emergence of borderline tumours with prognostic difference from benign and malignant counterparts has added a new dimension to the research in field of ovarian tumours. Correlation of clinical and radiological findings has assisted the pathologist to arrive at a definite conclusion in almost all cases. Even then, we may require the help of modern techniques like IHC and hormonal studies. Understanding in detail about the different lesions in the ovary, their prognostic implications and differences in the treatment is also crucial in diagnosis. A proper, complete and definite diagnosis helps the clinician to initiate the best conservative treatment available.
