Abstract
A wide spectrum of pathological conditions – non-neoplastic and neoplastic can be seen in the ovary in routine surgical pathology. Ovarian cancer seems to be the most deadly gynecologic malignancy, and it is diagnosed late in the disease’s clinical path due to a lack of early signs and screening protocols The incidence and prevalence of ovarian cancer vary in different geographical areas of the country. It is the seventh most common cancer diagnosis, with a global prevalence rate of 6.3/100,000 women. With an age-standardized incidence rate of 10.9%.Most patients (75%) have advanced-stage tumors, with a dismal 5-year survival rate of only 30%.
