Keywords:
Ovarian cancer, Surface epithelial tumours, Serous cystadenoma, Germ cell tumours, Sex cord Stromal tumoursAbstract
Background: Ovarian cancer accounts for 3% of all cancers in women. 80% of the ovarian tumors are benign, occurring in the age group of 20 to 45 years whereas malignant tumors are common in elderly women, between 45 to 65 years. Ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer (age standardized incidence rate of 6.6 /100,000) and the seventh leading cause of cancer deaths (age standardized mortality rate of 4/100,000) among women worldwide
Methods: All ovarian tumors diagnosed over a period of 39 months from January 2014 to March 2017 in the Department of Pathology, Saveetha Medical College, Thandalam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu were included in this study
Result: Out of a total of 61 ovarian tumor specimens, 53 were surface epithelial tumors and 4 were germ cell tumors and 4 were sex cord stromal tumors. Out of 61 cases, there were 52 benign, 8 malignant and 1 borderline tumors. Most common histological type was surface epithelial tumors. Most common benign tumor was serous cystadenoma (42 cases) and the malignant tumor was serous cystadenocarcinoma (4 cases).Â
Conclusion: The most common ovarian tumor was surface epithelial tumors and the most common benign tumor among surface epithelial tumor was serous cystadenoma. The commonest malignant tumor was surface epithelial tumor which was common among patients who are above 60 years of age.
