A Study on Histologic Evaluation of Ovarian Lesions at a District Tertiary Care Hospital
Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Introduction: Ovarian lesions are diverse with a broad clinical presentation from being asymptomatic to rarely symptomatic, presenting with pain, abdominal discomfort and abdominal mass. Histopathologic analysis of ovarian lesions guides clinicians in the accurate and early management of cases. Aim: To analyse ovarian lesions and categorise them into non-neoplastic and neoplastic based on histopathological examination. Material and Methods: This is a 2-year prospective study conducted from June 2023 to June 2025 at a district tertiary care institute, with a total of 96 cases. Results: A total of 96 cases were studied, of which 52 were non-neoplastic and 44 were neoplastic. Follicular cyst was the most common non-neoplastic lesion and benign mucinous cystadenoma was the most common neoplastic lesion in the present study. Conclusion: Most of the ovarian lesions are asymptomatic and diagnosed as part of the histomorphological evaluation of hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or cystectomy specimens. Clinicoradiologic and histomorphologic findings categorise ovarian lesions into non-neoplastic and neoplastic and guides in appropriate management.
