BACKGROUND Ovarian cancer is the 6 th most common cancer in worldwide among female population, whereas in India, it is the third most common cancer among women, 1 in 70 women have their lifetime risk to develop this tumour. Survival rate depends on the stage of diagnosis. Although, geographic and racial differences in the incidence of ovarian tumours are well-recognised information regarding any dissimilarity in clinicopathological behaviour is scarce. In the present study, the clinicopathological features of patients with ovarian tumours are evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a series of 96 clinically and diagnostically-proved ovarian tumours, case history was taken and clinical examination was done. Surgical staging done according to laparotomy, gross morphology and histopathological study was done. Study Type-Observational study, done in between December 2015-March 2017 in Konaseema Institute of Medical Sciences and RF (Research Foundation). RESULTS Out of 96 cases are studied in Konaseema Institute of Medical Sciences and RF, 59 cases are benign and 32 cases are malignant tumour and 5 cases are borderline malignant potential tumours. Most of the tumour presented within 2 months of onset of symptoms, abdominal distension is commonest presentation in (51% of cases). Almost, 71% of the malignant tumour diagnosed at stage III/IV of the disease. CONCLUSION On histopathological study of these tumours, 73% are surface epithelial tumours. Among surface epithelial tumours, serous tumour is the commonest one. So, early diagnosis and prompt treatment (surgery and chemotherapy) definitely reduce the mortality from ovarian tumour.

Lingual thyroid (LT) is a developmental defect due to the failure of the thyroid gland to descend to its normal cervical location during embryogenesis. Lingual thyroid has an overall prevalence of 1 in 100,000 to 1in 3,00,000 and is seven to ten times more common in females than in males .Lingual position represents the most frequent ectopic location accounting up to 90% of ectopic cases. It is found at the junction of the anterior two thirds and the posterior third, between the epiglottis and the circumvallate papillae. Most cases are asymptomatic, however, increase in size can cause local symptoms like upper airway obstruction, dysphagia and hemorrhage at any time from infancy to adulthood. Thyroid scintigraphy, neck ultrasound, CT- scan, MRI are some diagnostic modalities that play a vital role in diagnosing ectopic thyroid gland. Treatment of this anomaly includes exogenous L-thyroxine hormone administration, radioiodine ablation therapy and surgery. We hereby report a rare case of lingual thyroid in a young girl reported by fine needle aspiration cytology.

Pleomorphic lipoma is a rare neoplasm that is considered as a variant of spindle cell lipoma. It predominantly occurs in the dermis or subcutis of the posterior neck, upper back, and shoulders. Pleomorphic lipoma may clinically present as a slow-growing and well-circumscribed subcutaneous mass. Though it is a benign tumour it may contain atypical cells for which it may mimick sarcoma or other malignant soft tissue tumours. So histopathological diagnosis is vital for preventing unnecessary surgery. Here we report a case of a pleomorphic lipoma on upper back in a 55yr old patient.
