Introduction: (1) The female genital tract is constituted by the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus (body/corpus and cervix), vagina, and vulva. Female genital tract lesions can be benign or malignant. Our study was carried out to nd out the frequency of various histopathological lesions including neoplasms of female genital tract. Materials and Methods: Our study is retrospective conducted over 2 years period. Data was collected from case records of patients presenting to Goa Medical College and histopathology reports obtained from Dept of pathology. Data was represented in form of charts and tables. The analysis of statistical data of variables was done using SPSS software version 22. Signicance was calculated using chi square test. Value of p <0.05 was considered signicant. Results: Out of total 270 subjects studied, 229 were having benign lesions and 41 had malignant lesions.The mean age was 49.5 years. Leiomyoma was diagnosed in (40.58%) cases. In abnormalities of endometrium proliferative endometrium was seen in 37.6%. Chronic cervicitis was seen 78.74% cases. Among the ovarian lesions, 67.74% cases were simple follicular cysts. Cervical cancer was found in 73.17% cases followed by ovarian malignancies in 19.51 % cases, endometrial carcinoma in 4.87% cases and vulvar cancer in 2.44% cases. Among the malignant tumors (58.54%) cases were postmenopausal women. Conclusion: Microscopic assessment and clinico-pathological correlation of lesions is necessary as grossly identiable benign lesion may harbour a focus of malignancy. It aids to appropriate management in the postoperative period. A concerted effort should be done towards prevention of cancers, by creating awareness through health education in addition to implementation of screening methods.

Aims: The incidence of cancer and the cancer related deaths are increasing worldwide. There is limited data regarding  gynecological cancers in Nepal. This study is conducted to analyze the trends of female genital tract malignancies in Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital (PMWH) and compare it with the national/international data.Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology and Pathology in PMWH.  All female diagnosed with the genital tract malignancies from July 2013 to July 2015 were included in the study.Results: Among 62 cases, cervical cancer was the commonest (71%) followed by ovarian cancer (14%), endometrial cancer (8%) and choriocarcinoma (3%). Majority of women belonged to 50-59 years for each type of tumors. Four-fifth of endometrial, half of the cervical and one-third of ovarian cancers were among grand-multipara. Sixty nine percent of women received treatment with 22 (9 cervical, 9 ovarian, 3 endometrial and one of corpus uteri)  surgical and 21 primary chemo/radiotherapy but 19 (31%) were lost for follow-up. Squamous type of cervical cancer was the commonest (93%).Conclusions: Cervical cancer was the commonest genital tract malignancy followed by ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer and choriocarcinoma. For each type of tumors, 50-59 years was the common age group and grand multiparity was seen in half of the women with the cervical cancer. Squamous type of cervical cancer was the commonest variety.

AbstractThe synchronous occurence of primary carcinomas of endometrium and ovary is well recognized. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) may also rarely occur in patients diagnosed with malignancies of the female genital tract. We report a rare case of synchronous primary carcinomas of endometrium and ovary, followed by a metachronous retroperitoneal MPNST. Ascites cytology and endometrial biopsy, followed by hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy, were performed to remove the synchronous tumors. Histology was suggestive of synchronous endometrial endometrioid carcinoma and ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma. After the removal of the retroperitoneal tumor, a MPNST was diagnosed by immunohistochemistry. The patient developed two consecutive vaginal tumors diagnosed as metastases of the previously diagnosed endometrial carcinoma. Although synchronous tumors of endometrium and ovary were relatively early staged and consequently had a favorable prognosis, subsequently occuring implants along the lower genital tract and the metachronous MPNST added up to a poor prognosis.
