Spectrum of Neoplastic & Non-Neoplastic Lesions of Ovary at SBMCH (A Tertiary Care Centre)

Ovary is one of the commonest sites of lesion in the female reproductive tract, which can present among childhood to post-menopausal age group. Diagnosis of ovarian lesions in its early stages is rare, as they are usually asymptomatic and not easily identified on physical examination. A statistical retrospective study is done over a period of 1 year at Sree Balaji Medical College & Hospital (tertiary care center). A total of 151 ovarian lesions were reported in the year 2015- 2016 histologically by the department of pathology, SBMCH. Amongst the total lesions Non-neoplastic type were 129(85.5%) cases & Neoplastic were 22(14.5%) cases. Non-neoplastic lesions were more common than neoplastic lesions. Among neoplastic lesions benign tumors were common. The diagnostic diversity of ovarian lesions poses many challenges. A specific diagnosis can usually be made by histopathology but sometimes immunohistochemistry is required in difficult cases
