Introduction: Ovarian lesions can present in any age of life and has a wide spectrum of presentation. They contribute to most of the pelvic masses encountered in clinical practice in reproductive age group. Histopathological examination is of prime importance in ovarian lesions as it is difficult to diagnose these lesions on basis of clinical history, radiology alone.
Aim: To analyse the spectrum of ovarian lesions and to categorize them on basis of histomorphological pattern.
Materials and Methods: A total 132 cases were studied from January 2022 to December 2022. Relevant clinical details and histopathological findings were reviewed and analysed.
Results: A total of 132 cases of ovarian lesions were included in this study with age range from 20 years to 72 years. Non neoplastic cases were 71 and neoplastic cases were 61 in present study. Follicular cyst was the commonest non neoplastic lesion (48 cases) followed by haemorrhagic corpus luteal cyst (16 cases). Out of 61 neoplastic lesions, 56 were benign, 3 were borderline and 2 were malignant on histopathological examination. Mucinous cystadenoma was the commonest benign lesion and serous cystadenocarcinoma was the commonest malignant tumour in the present study. Borderline mucinous cyst adenoma was the commonest in borderline cases in our study. Unilateral presentation of ovarian lesions was found in 116 cases and bilateral in 16 cases.
Conclusion: In present study majority of cases were of non neoplastic lesions. For accurate management of the ovarian lesions it is important to correlate clinical findings and ultrasonography findings with histopathology diagnosis.
