They may arise from any of the three components of ovary i.e. surface epithelium, germ cells and the stroma of the ovary including sex cords. Tumors in the ovary can also be secondary or metastatic tumors. Objective: To determine the frequency of Ovarian Tumors according to WHO Histological classification and their relation to age at diagnosis in almost one year. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out, that… Show more

“…This finding is inconsistent with the studies of Khan MA.et al that also shows among 95 subjects that serous tumors were 49.5% followed by mucinous 16.8% and teratomas (15.8%). 15 Correspondingly another study showed serous cystadenocarcinoma was the commonest malignancy (33.33%) among 855 adnexal masses enrolled in the study. 16 In the same way, Ahmed M. et al in a study of 186 individuals undergoing surgeries for adnexal masses proved serous cystadenoma to be the commonest benign tumor (37.98%) out of 84.95% total and serous cystadenocarcinoma to be the commonest malignancy 36.00%.…”

“…In a study by Khan MA,et al,78.9% of the tumors (75/95) were benign, 1.1% (1/95) were borderline and 20% (19/95) were malignant 8 .In another study by Shoail I, et al thefrequency of ovarian tumors was 7.1% while benign tumors was 74.8%, borderline 1.6% and malignant 23.4% in women with lower abdominal pain 9 . In our study women of age between 20 and 60 years were included,and the mean age of diagnosis was 33.808±7.70 years.It was found that the women of age group 20-40 years had maximum incidence of ovarian tumors.Similar results were present in one of a study in Indiaand Nepal, where the maximum incidence of ovarian masses was between 21 to 40 years of age.However different results were seen in Western Countries where peak incidence is between 50 and 70 years .…”

“…Most ONs occur during the reproductive age group. Nulliparity, a high socioeconomic status, and environmental and genetic factors are all important risk factors [ 8 ]. ONs cannot be diagnosed alone on the basis of clinical, radiological, and gross findings.…”
