Background: Ovarian tumors are common forms of neoplasia in women. Among cancers of the female genital tract, it ranks only below carcinoma of the cervix and the endometrium, but is responsible for approximately 50% of the deaths. They arise from different cell lineages and hence constitute a wide variety of neoplastic entities with diverse morphological and clinical manifestations. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study of 363 cases of ovarian tumors was carried out during a three year period from January 2011 to December 2013. Results: Of the 363 ovarian tumors, 293 (80.72%) cases were benign, 57 (15.70%) were malignant and 13 (3.58%) were borderline. Germ cell tumour was the most common class of tumour and seen in 187 (51.52%) cases, followed by surface epithelial in 158 (43.53%) cases. The age distribution of the patients ranged from 10-82 years with a median age of 33 years. Benign tumors were more common than malignant ones in all age groups. Conclusion: Most of the ovarian tumors in this study were of germ cell origin. The incidence of malignant germ cell tumors was also significantly higher than in other studies. Mature cystic teratoma was the most common benign tumour while serous carcinoma was the most common malignancy. The incidence of malignant germ cell tumors was higher compared to other studies.

Background: Epithelial tumors are the most common subgroup and are seen in 60-70% of all ovarian tumors. Serous cystadenoma and mucinous cystadenoma are the most common benign epithelial tumors. Serous cystadenomas are ovarian tumors with the highest bilateral incidence. The coexistence of tumors with different histopathology in the ovaries is extremely rare and has only been reported in a few cases in the literature. We present a case of bilateral ovarian tumor that was diagnosed as serous and mucinous cystadenoma after laparoscopic surgery. Case report: A 45-year-old female patient was admitted to our center with swelling in the pelvic region and pain in the left lumbar region. US imaging showed a cystic lesion in the right adnexal area, 4x2cm in size, well-circumscribed, containing a few thin septa, and a low echo fluid content. A cystic lesion with 6x4cm sized multilocular, well-circumscribed, slightly high echo fluid content was observed in the left adnexal area. On CT, a complex cystic lesion measuring 6x4cm was observed in the left adnexal area, pushing the left ureter laterally and causing the hydroureter. In addition, a 4x2cm cystic lesion was observed in the right adnexal area and hydroureter was observed on the right side proximal to this lesion. Both lesions were removed by surgery. On histopathologic examination, the left-sided cystic lesion was diagnosed as mucinous cystadenoma, and the right-sided cystic lesion was diagnosed as serous cystadenoma. Conclusion: The coexistence of different ovarian tumor subtypes is rare. In this article, we presented a case in which serous and mucinous cystadenoma lesions were seen together for the fourth time in the literature, according to our knowledge.

A collision tumor is the coexistence of two adjacent, but histologically distinct tumors without histological admixture in the same tissue or organ. Such tumors have often been reported in various organs, but location in the ovary is rare. The juxtaposition with dermoid cysts has been reported as comprising approximately 5% of benign mucinous ovarian tumors and rare examples of proliferating mucinous tumors. Authors are reporting a case of collision tumor which included benign mucinous cystadenoma and benign cystic teratoma. The gynecologists and pathologists should be aware of such combination of tumors. The case was diagnosed post-operatively. It is important to correctly diagnose the component of tumor for further management and favourable prognosis. Frozen section intra-operatively plays an important role in diagnosing such tumors.

Background: Ovarian tumor is a common type of gynecological neoplasm and accounts for 15-25% of all gynecological malignancies. It is associated with high mortality and an accurate histological diagnosis is essential for management of patient.Objective: The study was performed to find out the morphological pattern, nature and age distribution of ovarian tumour in our hospital.Material and methods: It was a prospective study,conducted in the Department of Histopathology and Cytopathology, BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka for a period of two years from Jan 2014 to Dec 2015. This study included 186 cases of ovarian tumors sent in the Department of Pathology for histopathological evaluation. Non-neoplastic lesions and tumour-like conditions were excluded from the study. Histological diagnosis, age and laterality of ovary were recorded. Morphological pattern, nature and age distribution of ovarian neoplasms were calculated.Result: 84.95% cases of ovarian tumour were benign, 1.61% cases were borderline and 13.44% cases were malignant. ORIGINAL ARTICLES Surface epithelial tumour was the commonest type of tumour (61.83%), according to the histogenesis , followed by germ cell tumour. Benign serous tumour was the most common type of benign tumor (37.98% cases), followed by mature cystic teratoma (33.55% cases). Serous cystadenocarcinoma was the most common type of malignant tumour (36.0%), followed by endometrioid carcinoma (28.0%). Benign tumours were more frequent in all age group. The incidence of malignant ovarian tumour increased with age and was most frequent in >50 years age group. Benign tumours were commonly cystic, whereas malignant tumours were commonly solid and cystic. 11.23% cases of ovarian tumours were bilateral.Conclusion: Benign ovarian neoplasms were more common than malignant ones and benign serous tumour was the commonest type of benign neoplasm whereas serous cystdenocarcinoma was the commonest type of malignant neoplasm. The pattern and age distribution of ovarian tumour of our study were quite similar with other studies with some variation.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2018; 36(1): 5-10

Background: Ovarian tumors are one of the most common tumors, which occur in female genital tract. Despite the newer techniques in imaging and molecular biology, the diagnosis of ovarian tumors primarily depends on histopathological examination. Ovarian tumors manifests a wide spectrum of clinical, morphological and histological features. The aim of the study was to find the incidence of surface epithelial ovarian tumors in a tertiary referral centre. Materials and methods: A retrospective data of 3 years were collected for surface epithelial ovarian tumors submitted to the pathology department of the tertiary care hospital and analysed. The correlation of these surface epithelial ovarian tumors was done with age, clinical presentation and histomorphological patterns. Non-neoplastic lesions like simple ovarian cysts, tubo-ovarian mass and polycystic ovaries were excluded. Results: A total number of 56 cases were studied. Out of which 44 cases were benign and 12 cases were malignant. Maximum cases were observed between 21 to 30 years. Mass per abdomen was the most common presentation(36%) followed by mass and pain in abdomen(27%).Serous cystadenoma formed maximum 28 cases(50%) followed by Mucinous cystadenoma(16 cases) 28 % , Serous cysadenocarcinoma formed 5cases (9%), followed by Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma 3 cases(5%) & 2 cases each(4%) of clear cell carcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma were noted. The most common histopathological type of benign and malignant tumor was serous cystadenoma (50.2%) and serous cystadenocarcinoma(9%) respectively. Conclusion: In the study majority (78.6%) of the surface epithelial ovarian tumors were benign. Malignancy was seen in (21.4)% of the cases. Surface epithelial tumours present a great challenge to the gynecologic oncologist because non-neoplastic ovarian lesions can form a pelvic mass and potentially mimic a neoplasm. Correct histopathological diagnosis of surface epithelial ovarian tumors is of prime importance in view of their behavioral predictability and clinical correlation for proper management of the patient.

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.
