Abstract
Ovarian tumors are important because of increased morbidity and mortality associated with them. A total number of 157 specimens of ovarian neoplasms were studied in the department of pathology, Gandhi Medical College for a period of 2 years, i.e. June 2014 to May 2016. In our study, majority of the ovarian neoplasms were classified as benign tumors 101 (64.3%) followed by borderline neoplasms 44 (28.2%), and malignant tumors were 12 in number (7.6%). Out of these surface epithelial tumors were the commonest variety constituting 128 (81.5%), followed by germ cell tumors - 24 (15.28%). A relatively high no. of malignancies was observed in the study.
