Abstract

Ovarian cancer are mostly (80%) 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 Aim: this study was undertaken to assess the presentation and the morphological variants of surface epithelial ovarian neoplasms Methods: This was a cross sectional study, conducted in the department of pathology, P.D.U. Medical College and Hospital, Rajkot. All Specimens received during the study period were analysed for the histopathological presentation and various morphological pattern of surface epithelial tumors were recorded. Results: A total of 40 diagnosed cases of surface epithelial tumours were enrolled and asses in this study. Majority of them (80%) were serous, 15% were mucinous, 2.5% transitional cell, 2.5% undifferentiated tumor and 0% were endometrioid, Majority of the Serous tumours was benign (81.3%), 15.6% were malignant and 3.2 was borderline in nature. Among mucinous tumours 83.3% was benign and 16.7% were borderline. All transitional cell tumours were malignant in nature. Conclusions: Benign Surface Epithelial Tumours are more common than malignant.Most common pathology is benign serous cystadenoma, the commonest malignant tumour among Surface Epithelial Tumours is the serous carcinoma,
