Background: Ovarian neoplasms are the cause of highest mortality in female genital tract neoplasms. Surface epithelial stromal tumours of ovary being the most common type of ovarian tumours Aim: The aim of the study was to find the incidence and histopathological pattern of surface epithel.ial ovarian tumor in our tertiary referral centre. Methods: This cross sectional observational study, carried in the department of pathology, P.D.U. Medical College and Hospital, Rajkot. Total 90 specimens received during the study period are preserved immediately in 10% neutral buffered formalin. All were evaluated by gross and histopathological examination. All clinical and histopathological data were recorded. Results: Incidence of surface epithelial tumours was 44.5%, Amongst these, 77.5% were serous, 17.5% were mucinous, 00 endometrioid, 2.5% each of transitional cell and undifferentiated tumor. Majority of the Serous and mucinous tumours are unilateral 96% & 85.5% and Benign 83.8% & 66.6% respectively. The mean age of diagnosis for benign serous was 41.5 years and for benign mucinous tumour were 48.5 years. The most common clinical presentation was chronic abdominal pain (92.5%) and abdominal enlargement (52.5%). Conclusions: Surface epithelial tumours present a great challenge to the gynecologic oncologist because non-neoplastic ovarian lesions can mimic a neoplasm. Their proper recognition and histopathologic classification is essential for appropriate management.
