Relationship between age, histological type, and size of ovarian tumors

Abstract

The distribution of tumor histological type (tumor-like lesions, benign, LMP and malignant) was correlated against patient age and lesion diameter, with tumors in older patients or larger tumors more likely to be malignant.

Clinicomorphological Study Of Ovarian Lesions

“…Only 0.77% of borderline tumor was observed in the present study, which was lower than the studies by Gupta et al, 11 and Okugawa et al, 10 both studies had observed 4% of borderline ovarian tumors.…”

“…There was similar observation by Bhattacharya et al 9 and Okugawa et al, 10 92.59% of ovarian neoplasms while 7.41% of nonneoplastic ovarian lesions; and 72% of ovarian neoplasms and 28% of non-neoplastic lesions respectively. In contrast, Gupta et al 11 observed 41.20% of ovarian neoplasms and 58.80% of non-neoplastic ovarian lesions.…”

“…This observation contrasts with the studies of Yasmin et al 12 in which follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts were common, constituting 27.8% and Gupta et al 11 observed 80.2% of follicular and corpus luteum cysts. Okugawa et al 10 observed endometriosis (71.52%) as the most common non-neoplastic ovarian lesions.…”

Retrospective study of spectrum of ovarian tumours in a tertiary care setup

“…Only 1.6% of borderline tumor was observed in the present study, which was lower than the studies conducted by Gupta et al , [7] and Okugawa et al , [8] where both the studies had observed 4% of the borderline ovarian tumors.…”

“…This result is comparable with the study carried out at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Nepal, [16] in which germ cell tumors were the second common tumors (42.2%); and is also comparable with different series of studies . [14,15,6,7,8] Bhattacharya et al, [9] and Khan et al , [15] noticed benign neoplasms occurring mostly in between 21 and 40 years of age. The present study observed benign neoplasms in the age group from 21 and above 60 years of age.…”
