Dr. Shikha Joshi, Dr. Israr Ahmad

Background:It is certain that ovarian cancer ranks seventh overall among female cancer deaths, and that it accounts for up to 8.7% of cancer deaths in India across various regions. The present study was conducted to assess the histopathology of ovarian lesions. Materials & Methods:65 ovarian mass specimens that were received from the gynecological department were obtained, grossed, and tissue fixation was carried out. After being cut, tissue slices were treated. Standard Hematoxylin and Eosin stains were applied to glass slides containing microsections that had a thickness of 5 microns. Results: The age group 21-30 years comprises of 8, 31-40 years 22, 41-50 years had 21, and 51-60 years had 14 lesions. A significant difference was observed (P< 0.05). Benign neoplastic lesions were seen in 15 patients such as fibroma in 7, fibrothecoma in 3, mucinous cystadenoma in 2 and serous cystadenoma in 3 patients. Malignant lesions were seen in 10 patients such as neoplastic in 10, granulosa cell tumor in 6, borderline mucinous cystadenoma in 2 and papillary serous cystadenoma in 2 patients. Non- neoplastic lesions in 40 cases such as follicular cystin 22, inclusion cyst in 6, corpus luteum cyst in 10 and ectopic pregnancy in 2 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Follicle cysts, corpus luteum cysts, and frequent benign neoplastic lesions, and fibromas and mucinous cystadenoma, were prevalent non-neoplastic lesions. Papillary serous cystadenoma and granulosa cell tumor were common malignant neoplastic lesions.
