Background: The aim of the study was to identify the pattern of pathologies involving ovarian mass lesions which were received for histopathological evaluation at a tertiary hospital in Hyderabad, Telangana, India during the period January 2012 to December 2016.Methods: The data pertaining to samples of ovarian lesions received for histopathological evaluation at the laboratory of a tertiary care hospital in Hyderabad from January 2012 to December 2016, were analyzed to determine the pattern of pathologies diagnosed during such evaluation and the age distribution of all lesions.Results: Non-neoplastic lesions of the ovary constituted 44.0% of all cases received; follicular cysts constituted 45.5% of these lesions. Malignant lesions constituted only 2.0% of all pathologies. Serous cystadenoma of the ovary constituted the predominant neoplastic lesion diagnosed (62.5% of all neoplastic lesions). 53.2% of patients whose samples were received belonged to the age group of 20-39 years. 90.8% of the lesions were unilateralConclusions: The majority of ovarian lesions received for evaluation were benign and unilateral. Most patients were in the third to sixth decades of life.

FNAC is highly cost effective, patient friendly outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort and gives basic to accurate information regarding the lesions. It is considered as first line investigative technique as it gives quick results with good sensitivity and specificity. It also stratifies cases requiring further investigations, surgical intervention or just clinical follow-up. Present study is about the profile of non-neoplastic and neoplastic thyroid lesions by Fine needle aspiration cytology and correlates the FNAC findings with the histopathology. This study was undertaken in the
