Abstract

Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the clinical, demographic and pathological aspects of ovarian tumours diagnosed and operated upon over a two-year period.

Methods: A total of sixty women diagnosed with ovarian tumours who underwent an operative procedure formed our study group. All clinical and demographic data were obtained from medical records and the histopathology reports of the tissues removed at surgery were retrieved from the pathology department records.

Results: 36.7% of the women belonged to the age group of 41-50 y and lower abdominal pain was the commonest symptom in 61.7% of the women. 93.10% of the ovarian tumours were found to be benign, 1.7% to be borderline and 5.17% were malignant. Benign surface epithelial tumours constituted 74.13% of the total and, of these the incidence of serous cystadenoma was 44.8% and mucinous cytadenoma 22.41%. Germ cell tumours constituted 13.8% of all the tumours, with mature cystic teratomas being the most prevalent at 12.06%. Serous cystadenocarcinoma accounted for 5.17% of the tumours and borderline serous tumours accounted for 1.72%.

Conclusion: Women presenting with symptoms of an ovarian tumour should undergo a detailed clinical evaluation, investigations, early interventions and histopathology should be an integral component to improve outcomes.
