Background: Ovarian tumors are common form of neoplasm in women and account for 30% of female genital tract cancers. Ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer in women and the leading cause of death in women with gynaecological malignancy. Due to inefficient diagnosis/prognosis strategies mainly due to the lack of specific symptoms at the initial stage of the disease about 70% cases diagnose at advanced stage when the metastatic tumor has acquired drug resistant phenotype.
Methods: Prospective study of two years duration with sample of 108 cases of simple oophorectomy and hysterectomy with unilateral or bilateral salpingo oophorectomy specimens are included in this study.
Results: Maximum cases were in the age group of 21 to 45 years. Mean age of presentation was 42.84 years (benign tumors), 46.66years (Borderline tumors) and 32.6 years (malignant tumors). Epithelial ovarian tumors are the commonest and constituted 78.7% of all ovarian tumors. In present study 40.74% were benign, 2.78% were borderline and 56.48% were malignant ovarian tumors.
Conclusions: Most of the ovarian neoplasms presented in the reproductive age group but ovarian malignancy can occur at all age group and abdominal symptoms are the only clue for the diagnosis of the disease. There is no definite universal screening protocol yet, for malignant ovarian tumors however abdominal symptoms supported by tumor markers like serum CA-125 and ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis with Doppler may be yardstick for early diagnosis of malignant ovarian tumor.
