Abstract
Introduction: Ovary is the second most common site of gynaecological malignancies in India and therefore ovarian tumours need to be studied under the microscope for accurate diagnosis and management.
Aim: This study aims to study the spectrum of ovarian tumours and calculate their incidence and age-distribution. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, Sri Muthukumaran Medical College, Hospital & Research Institute, Chennai, during the year 2022. Results: Among a total of 68 ovarian neoplasms studied, benign tumours (61.7%) were more common and most of the patients were in the fourth decade of life. The commonest histomorphological category observed was Surface Epithelial Tumours (69.1%), followed by Germ Cell Tumours (17.6%). Conclusion: Ovarian Neoplasms have a wide range of histomorphological features and therefore histopathology is vital in enabling the clinicians in early diagnosis and treatment.
