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.

Ovarian tumors are commonly seen in adults and rare in children. Incidence in children is about 2.6 cases per 1,00,000 girls. Most common ovarian mass in children is benign functional cyst. Epithelial tumors account for 8-10% of ovarian tumors. Most common epithelial tumor is Cystadenoma. Mucinous cystadenoma occurs in 3rd -6th decade of life. We report a 10-year-old Premenarchal girl presenting with abdominal distension and discomfort. On examination the entire abdomen was occupied by a firm mass. CT imaging showed a large multiloculated cystic lesion arising from the right ovary. The child underwent right salphingo-oophrectomy. The biopsy of mass was suggestive of benign mucinous cystadenoma. The child is on regular follow up. At 1 year follow up child is doing well.

Background: Ovarian cancer accounts for 3% of all cancers in females. About 80% of these are benign, and they occur mostly in young women between 20 and 45 years. Borderline tumors occur at slightly older ages while incidence of malignant tumors increases with age, occurring predominantly in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. About 190,000 new cases and 114,000 deaths from ovarian cancer are estimated to occur annually worldwide. The aim of the study was to fi nd the incidence of surface ovarian tumor in a tertiary referral centre. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective study carried out in the department of pathology, Manipal Teaching Hospital from January 2001 to December 2012. Specimens were received from the same and other hospitals. Records were retrieved from the departmental data bank and were analyzed. Results: : A total of 310 cases of ovarian tumors have been reported in the same period. Among them, 180 cases were of surface epithelial origin and out of which 24 cases had bilateral tumors. Benign tumors comprised of 148 cases, 6 were borderline and 44 were malignant. Among these, the commonest was serous cystadenoma (98 cases) and the least common was malignant Brenner (2 cases). Combined or mixed tumor was seen in 9 cases. Conclusion: : In our study surface epithelial tumors comprised 58% of all ovarian tumors. In both benign and malignant cases, serous tumor was the commonest followed by mucinous tumors.

Background: Ovarian tumors account for 30% of all cancers of female genital tract which represents the sixth most common cancer and fourth leading cause of death in women. The present study was done with an objective to determine the frequency and distribution of various ovarian tumors and to study their clinical and histopathological presentations.Methods: It is a retrospective observational study of patients with ovarian tumors subjected to surgery in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital from January 2005 to December 2015.Results: There were 642 cases comprising of 77.7% of neoplastic lesions and 22.3% of non-neoplastic lesions. Majority of the ovarian tumors (83%) were seen in the age group of 20 to 50 years. Mean age for ovarian tumors was 38 years.  Among the neoplastic lesions 84% were benign, 14.2% were malignant and 1.8% were borderline tumors. Surface epithelial tumors were the commonest tumors (60.9%) followed by germ cell tumors (12.8%).  Serous cystadenoma was the most common benign tumors (47.1%) followed by mucinous cystadenoma (18.4%). Among the ovarian malignant tumors; serous cystadenocarcinoma was the most common (4.5%) followed by mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (2.6%). Chocolate cysts were the most common among the non-neoplastic lesions (36.4%).Conclusions: Ovarian neoplastic lesions were more common than non-neoplastic lesions. Benign ovarian tumors were common in reproductive age group.  The mean age of occurrence for ovarian tumor was 38 years. The most common neoplasm was surface epithelial tumors, of which serous tumors was the commonest. Chocolate cysts were the most frequently encountered histopathological finding among the non-neoplastic lesions.

Introduction: Pancreatic cysts are common (2.5%). Cystic neoplasms represent 10% of cystic lesions and 1% of pancreatic tumors. However, it is difficult to differentiate benign cyst from malignant cystic lesions preoperatively.Objective: To study the cases of pancreatic cystic lesion who underwent various forms of pancreatic resection.Materials and Methods: Nine cases of pancreatic cystic lesion who presented to Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital, Surgical Unit 3 within December 2014- November 2015 were evaluated. Four pancreatic cysts who underwent resection are discussed whereas not managed with resection are excluded.Results: There were 4 cases of pancreatic cyst who underwent pancreatic resection. First case underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma. However histopathological examination revealed a serous cystadenoma. In second case, pancreatic neck lesion suspected to be mucinous cystadenoma or pseudocyst in MRCP, with negative malignant cells in EUS guided FNAC underwent Central pancreatectomy and was found to be serous cystadenoma. The third case with suspected pseudocyst underwent Pancreaticoduodenectomy after a 3X2 cm2 cystic mass was felt at the posteroinferior side of pancreatic head and malignancy was suspected intraoperatively . HPE report was mucinous cystadenoma. The fourth case with pancreatic pseudocyst at tail with duct calculi and chronic pancreatitis underwent distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy with Frey’s procedure.Conclusion: Management of pancreatic cystic lesion is challenging. Though radiological imaging has limited role in accurate diagnosis, endoscopic ultrasound may be of some benefit.

Primary retroperitoneal mucinous cystadenomas (PRMCs) are observed more frequently in women with no specific symptoms. A 35 Years old female patient presented with Intermittent abdominal pain in her left flank associated with fullness in abdomen. CECT confirmed a well-defined smoothly marginated homogenous non-enhancing unilocular cystic lesion in retroperitoneum in left lumbar region, separated from the pancreas, left kidney and ovary. On Laprotomy, the retroperitoneal tumor was completely removed, without spillage of its contents.

Objectives. The study was conducted to characterize the use of the laparoscopic surgery in elderly patients. Methods. The medical records of elderly patients aged ≥65 years who underwent laparoscopic surgery were retrospectively reviewed for diseases, surgical procedures, histological diagnosis, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and reasons for presentation. Results. Of the 405 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery between January 2005 and March 2012, 41 (10.1%) were aged ≥65 years. The most common disease treated by surgery was ovarian tumor, followed by uterine prolapse. Histological diagnosis of ovarian tumor specimens obtained from 23 patients included serous cystadenoma (44.0%), mature cystic teratoma (20.0%), mucinous cystadenoma (20.0%), and endometrioma (4%). In contrast, in the non-elderly group, the most common histological diagnosis was endometrioma (42.9%), followed in order by mature cystic teratoma (28.3%), serous cystadenoma (18.0%), and mucinous cystadenoma (4.7%). While 23.7% of the non-elderly patients required emergency laparoscopic surgery, none of the elderly patients required emergency surgery. Only 1 of 27 patients who underwent surgery for an ovarian or adnexal mass presented with abdominal pain. No one developed serious intraoperative or postoperative complications. Conclusion. Laparoscopic surgery can be safely performed in elderly patients. It should be noted, however, that few elderly patients with benign pelvic mass manifest symptoms before undergoing surgery.

Cystadenomas of the pancreas are rare single and isolated tumors, usually appearing in young and middle aged women. Thecomas are rare usually unilateral, benign, estradiol, much rarer androgens producing ovarian tumors. We present a 19 year old girl in whom we removed two mucinous cystadenomas of the tail of the pancreas, 7 and 2 cm in diameter as well as a thecoma of the right ovary. As far as we know this combination of tumors have not been reported before.

Introduction : Ovarian tumor accounts for 30% of female genital tract cancers and comprises of large variety of neoplastic entities. Mortality rate has due to ovarian tumor has gradually increased. The present study was undertaken to study the frequency of various histomorphological spectrum, histological subtypes and age distribution pattern of ovarian tumors. Methods: Retrospective study was carried during period of 1st January 2015 to 31st st December 2019, 455 cases of ovarian neoplastic lesions were taken from the records of the department. Classication was done according to WHO classication. Results: Of the 455 cases, 332 cases (73%) were benign, 16 cases (3.5%) cases were borderline and 107 cases (23.5%) cases were malignant. Among the histological subtypes surface epithelial tumors are common comprised of 76.9% followed by germ cell tumors (19.6%). Serous cystadenoma (42.8%) was the most common benign tumor followed by mature cystic teratoma (16.5%). Among the malignant tumors, the most common was Serous cyst adenocarcinoma (11.9%) Tumors were seen over age range of 11-81 years. Maximum number of cases were in the 4th to 6th decade. Benign tumors were primarily seen in Younger age group , whereas malignant tumors were common in elderly age group. Conclusions: In our study we analysed all the spectrum of ovarian tumors diagnosed on the basis of histomorphology. Surface epithelial tumors were the commonest ovarian tumor. Maximum numbers of ovarian tumors were in the age range 40-59years and malignant tumors were common in age >40 years

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.
