Introduction: Ovarian tumors account for fifth most common cause of cancer related death in females involving a variety of histological diagnosis. It accounts for 6% of all cancers. Though it is one of the treatable cancers due to its sensitivity to anticancer therapies, it frequently does not result in symptoms until the cancer has spread extensively. Objectives: To study the incidence, histopathological spectrum and clinical correlates of ovarian tumours at B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS). Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken during a period of one year (1

“…As seen in Table 2, the coexisting endometrial disorders included endometrial polyp (EP), endometrial hyperplasia (EH), atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AH), atypical polypoid adenomyoma and endometrial cancer (EC)). To be precise, the diagnosis of synchronous ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer should meet the criteria defined by Young and Scully [22]. A significant difference was found in the prevalence of coexisting endometrial disorders between two groups (26.7% vs 5.9%, P = 0.03).…”

BackgroundTo explore the risk factors of endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) in women with ovarian endometriosis (OEM) aged 45 years and above in China.MethodsThis study reviewed the medical records of 1038 women in total who were aged 45 years and above, surgical-pathologically diagnosed with ovarian endometriosis, and were treated at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between December 1996 and December 2016. Histology evaluation was used to determine whether the ovarian endometriosis specimen was with (n = 30) or without (n = 1008) ovarian cancer.Results2.9% (30/1038) of women with the surgical-pathological diagnosis of ovarian endometriosis were found to have EAOC. Those patients with EAOC were prone to be in the postmenopausal status at the time of the diagnosis (OR 5.50, 95%CI 2.54–11.90, P < .001) and larger size of tumor (≥8 cm, OR 7.19, 95% CI 3.34–15.50, P < .001), and higher prevalence of coexisting with endometrial disorders (OR 4.11, 95%CI 1.73–9.73, P = .003). This study showed that patients of an older age when diagnosed with OEM, were at a higher risk of developing EAOC, respectively measuring of 1.7% (13/751) at 45–49 years, 5.6% (12/215) at 50–54 years, and 10.0%(5/50) at 55–59 years (P < 0.001).ConclusionsThis study showed that for women aged 45 years and above who were diagnosed with OEM, the independent risk factors of EAOC were menopausal status, tumor size of 8 cm or greater in diameter, and coexisting endometrial disorders. Therefore, intensive follow-ups or active interventions should be considered for them.

“…It is difficult to determine whether these cancers were double primary cancers that simultaneously arose from the endometrium and right ovary or were one primary cancer and a metastasis. This case was evaluated according to the criteria for diagnosis of double primary cancer by Young et al 8 That is, there was no direct extension of either tumor or superficial myometrial invasion of the endometrial cancer, and each tumor was confined to its primary site. Based on these criteria, we diagnosed this case as double primary cancers that occurred simultaneously in the endometrium and right ovary.…”
