Background: Ovarian cancer is the eighth most frequent cancer among women worldwide, accounting for 4% of all cancers in the female population. When compared to other reproductive system cancers, ovarian cancer has a high death and morbidity rate. Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the clinical presentation and histological types of ovarian tumor in patients admitted in tertiary care center. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the clinical presentation and histopathological types of ovarian tumour diagnosed at Medical college for women, Uttara and Nightingale medical college, Ashulia. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and 600 patients diagnosed with ovarian tumors were consecutively included in the study from July 2009 to August 2016. The cases were diagnosed and subclassified in accordance with the WHO Classification of Female Genital Tumours, Fourth Edition. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) application, version 25, was used for data analysis. Results: Out of Total Gynaecological admission of 4800 patients during the study period, 600 patients were admitted with diagnosis of ovarian Tumor, So occurance was 12.5%. the mean age of the patients was 35 ± 2.09. About 8.6% of the patients had less than 20 years old. 56.6% were within the age group of 21-40, 29.8% were within the age group of 41-60 and only 5% had more than 60 years. The mean Menarche in years was 14.6 ± 1.02 and Menopause in years was 48.7 ± 2.46. Regarding clinical presentation 37.40% had abdominal pain, 55.50% had abdominal mass, 3% had abdominal distension,2% had ascites, 0.50% had menstrual irregularities and 2.50% were asymptomatic. Regarding surgical procedure, 35% undergone Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, 18.33% Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, 15% Right salpingo-oophorectomy and Left salpingo-oophorectomy recommendation, 13.33% Right cystectomy, 3.33% Left cystectomy. Regarding consistency of tumour 57.33% were cystic, 37% were solid, 5.33% were complex and 0.33% were Diffuse pattern (metastatic tumor). Benign tumors were 77%, borderline 16.67% and malignant 6.33% cases. Out of 462 benign tumors, Serous cystadenoma (230/49.78%), Mucinous cystadenoma (60/12.98%), benign Brenner tumor (10/2.16%), Mature cystic teratoma (110/23.80%), stroma ovarii (10/2.16%), Fibroma (10/2.16%), Fibro-thecoma (12/ 2.59%), leiomyoma (20/4.34%). Out of 38 malignant tumour, Serous cystadenocarcinoma (11/28.94%), mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (6/15.78%), clear cell carcinoma (1/2.63%), Malignant Brenner tumor (1/2.63%), endometroid adenocarcinoma (4/10.52%), squamous cell carcinoma arising in mature teratoma (1/2.63%), Dysgerminoma (7/18.4%), Immature teratoma (1/2.63%), malignant mixed germ cell tumor (1/2.63%), Adult granulosa cell tumor (4/10.52%), Krukenburg tumor (1/2.63%). Survival status was satisfactory; 99.67% patients was alive. Conclusion: The study found that ovarian neoplasms had ambiguous signs and symptoms, were mostly seen in reproductive age groups, and were mostly benign. The proportion of malignant ovarian neoplasms was significantly lower than that of benign ovarian neoplasms. Although incidence of malignant tumor is less common but gynocologists should be more careful in diagnosis of malignancy as ovaries are pelvic organs and definite screening methods are not available and malignancy can occur in any age.

Objective:
In Ethiopia, there is no national-level cancer registry except capital Addis Ababa, and little research was performed on ovarian tumors. This study is aimed at assessing different histopathologic patterns of ovarian tumors and their distribution based on age, biological behavior, and gross findings at a tertiary-level hospital in Ethiopia.
Methods:
In this study, 187 biopsy-confirmed ovarian tumors from September 2017 to August 2021 were included. All data were collected from the pathology department report format, classified according to the latest World Health Organization (WHO) classification system, and analyzed using SPSS 20.0 and Microsoft Excel 2010 at Hawassa University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Hawassa, Ethiopia.
Results:
A total of 187 women with ovarian tumors were included in this study. Of these, 143 (76.5%) were benign, 35 (18.7%) were malignant, and 9 (4.8%) were borderline tumors. Both benign and borderline tumors mostly occur at the age of 20-39 years. Surface epithelial tumors were the most common histopathologic pattern at 57.8% followed by germ cell tumors at 29.4% and sex cord-stromal tumors at 11.7%. Mature cystic teratomas were the most common benign ovarian tumors accounting for 37.8% of them, while serous cystadenocarcinomas were the most common malignant ovarian tumors accounting for 31.4% of malignant neoplasms.
Conclusion:
In the current study, surface epithelial tumors were the most common ovarian tumors followed by germ cell tumors. Younger age at presentation was observed for malignant ovarian tumors.

Purpose:
In Afghanistan, research work is still in its infancy and there is no national level tumor registry at the moment in the country that could elaborate the histopathological features of ovarian tumors in the country. The current study was conducted with the aim to describe pathological characteristics of ovarian tumors diagnosed at tertiary level in Afghanistan.
Patients and methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted, including 198 cases diagnosed with ovarian tumors, that were consecutively included in the study from July 2017 to August 2020. All the cases were diagnosed at the Department of Pathology, French Medical Institute for Mothers and Children, Kabul, Afghanistan, that receives biopsy samples from all of the tertiary care institutions in Kabul.
Results:
In the current study, majority of the ovarian tumors were benign and presented with nonspecific symptoms. The mean age at diagnosis was 34.4 (SD ±13.4). Benign tumors comprised 81.8%, borderline 1.5% and malignant 16.7% of the cases. Majority of the diagnosed tumors were from surface epithelium in origin, followed by germ cell tumors, sex cord stromal tumors, and a single metastatic tumor. The most common benign neoplasm was mature cystic teratoma, followed by benign serous cystadenoma. Considering the malignant tumors, serous cystadenocarcinoma and adult granulosa cell tumors were predominant, followed by endometrioid adenocarcinoma and mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. More than half of the ovarian tumors occurred between 21 and 40 years of age.
Conclusion:
In the current study, the proportion of malignant ovarian neoplasms was significantly less than benign lesions. Although, many of the pathological features related to ovarian neoplasms were similar to the features demonstrated in other regions of the world, there were important findings that were exclusively noted in the cases diagnosed in Afghanistan.
... Ovarian cysts are extremely common forms of gynecological problems in females of all age groups, 1 that can be range from physiological cysts to highly aggressive neoplastic lesions. 2 A woman's chance of getting ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about 6.0-7.0%3 and the lifetime risk of ovarian cancer in women with no family history is 1.6%. 4 Ovarian cancer is the sixth most common female cancer 2 and the fifth most common leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide ranked after lung and bronchus, breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers in United States and causes half of the deaths from female reproductive system. ...

Background: Ovarian cysts are common forms of gynecological problems that can be range from physiological cysts to highly aggressive neoplastic lesions. The purpose of this study was to investigate prevalence and frequency of different histopathological patterns of ovarian lesions and their correlation with various parameters in Ahvaz, Iran.Materials and Methods: This is the retrospective study of patients with the ovarian masses at Ahvaz Imam Khomeini Hospital from 2010 - 2015. The relevant clinical details about the patient were retrieved from hospital data. Clinical characteristics of patients such as patient's age, presenting signs and symptoms, histopathological diagnosis, mass type, mass subtype, size of cysts and ovary which is involved were noted. Results: Two hundred sixty seven specimens of ovarian tumor obtained for histopathological examination. Of these, 163(61.0%) were tumor like, 96(36.0%) were benign tumor and 8(3.0%) were malignant. The most common tumor like conditions was Corpus luteum cyst (43.4% cases), among benign and malignant tumors, mature cystic teratoma (17.2% of total) and Epithelial tumors (n=4) were most common. There is a statistically significant positive relation between age and various ovarian masses. (P= 0.002). Histopathological diagnosis wasn't correlated with ovarian involvement.Conclusion: Benign tumors are more common than malignant tumors in all age groups. Germ cell tumors followed by surface epithelial cell tumors are the commonest tumor. Mature cystic teratoma was the most common tumor. Unilaterality is more frequently seen in ovarian tumors and various tumors are seen in various age groups.
