“…4,19 These tumors were seen in all age groups and 3.6% cases were seen in the pediatric age group. 20 Microscopically, they show well defined small nests of transitional cells with intervening fibromatous stroma. Nuclei show typical grooved coffee bean appearance ( fig.1).…”

Background: Ovarian cancer accounts for 3% of all cancers in females. About 80% of these are benign, and they occur mostly in young women between 20 and 45 years. Borderline tumors occur at slightly older ages while incidence of malignant tumors increases with age, occurring predominantly in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. About 190,000 new cases and 114,000 deaths from ovarian cancer are estimated to occur annually worldwide. The aim of the study was to fi nd the incidence of surface ovarian tumor in a tertiary referral centre. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective study carried out in the department of pathology, Manipal Teaching Hospital from January 2001 to December 2012. Specimens were received from the same and other hospitals. Records were retrieved from the departmental data bank and were analyzed. Results: : A total of 310 cases of ovarian tumors have been reported in the same period. Among them, 180 cases were of surface epithelial origin and out of which 24 cases had bilateral tumors. Benign tumors comprised of 148 cases, 6 were borderline and 44 were malignant. Among these, the commonest was serous cystadenoma (98 cases) and the least common was malignant Brenner (2 cases). Combined or mixed tumor was seen in 9 cases. Conclusion: : In our study surface epithelial tumors comprised 58% of all ovarian tumors. In both benign and malignant cases, serous tumor was the commonest followed by mucinous tumors.

“…It has been mentioned that neoplasms of the ovary were the most frequent tumors representing about 42.4% of all gynecological malignancies. 1 Ovarian cancer is the most frequent cause of death from gynecological cancer and the fourth most frequent cause of death from cancer in women in Europe and the United States. 2 The age adjusted incidence rate of invasive ovarian cancer in the United States observed by Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program (SEER), a source of cancer statistics review during 1975 to 2006 was 14.82/ 100,000 women of all races, and the mortality rate was 9.15/ 100,000 women.…”

“…The data from Nepal by Kayastha 5 had observed 20% ovarian tumors occurred in nulliparous women and 38.9% in low parity (1)(2) women. In the present study, 35.33% (53/150) women were of low parity (1-2), and only 5.33% (8/150) women were nulliparous in contrast to study of Kayastha. 5 There were 16 (10.67%) cases of unmarried women in the present study which was approximately similar to study by Kayastha 5 in which unmarried women constituted 11.6%.…”

This prospective study was conducted at College of Medical Sciences-Teaching Hospital (CMS-TH) during December 2008 to May 2010. One hundred and fifty cases were analyzed. Age of the patients, parity, presenting symptoms, types of surgery, clinical diagnosis and complications were retrieved from case sheets. Surface epithelial tumors were more frequently observed above 30 years of age, (62.07%) cases. During 1st to 3rd decades of life, 62.8% germ cell tumors were seen; and sex cord tumors were seen in age group 41-60 years only. For all age groups, benign tumors were common than malignant tumors. There were 10.7% unmarried patients, 5.33% nulliparous, 35.55% of parity 1 to 2; 4% pregnant and 20 % postmenopausal women. There were 86.67% cases neoplastic, and 13.33% non-neoplastic ovarian lesions; 93.85% benign, 5.38% malignant and 0.77% borderline tumors. Surface epithelial tumors were the most common tumors (53.84%) followed by germ cell tumors (43.85%), constituted 46.7% and 38% among all ovarian lesions. The commonest benign tumors were serous cystadenomas and mature cystic teratomas, constituted 40% cases each. Dysgerminoma was the common malignant neoplasm (2.31%), all were seen in adolescents. Most of the other malignant neoplasms were observed above 40 years of age. Seventy percent (70%) of non-neoplastic lesions were hemorrhagic corpus luteum cysts. The commonest presenting symptom was pain in the lower abdomen (82%) followed by abdominal mass/ or distension (48.7%). Constitutional symptoms were observed in malignant cases only. Grossly, majority of the ovarian lesions were of size ranging 5 to 15 cm; and 89.93% cystic lesions. There were 48.7% lesions in the right ovary and 45.3% in the left ovary; 6% bilateral ovarian lesions, all of which were observed in benign and non-neoplastic lesions. The common complication observed was torsion (6.7%) followed by rupture of the cysts (6%).

“…1 Low rates are also observed in China, in western Asia and most of the Muslim countries, including Pakistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia. 2,[12][13][14][15] In a study of gynecological cancer profile at the Rawalpindi Combined Military Hospital, less cigarette smoking in females, religious practices and male circumcision was thought to be some of the possible reasons for the low incidence of cervical cancer. 13 The same practices may be operative in other Muslim countries as well.…”
