A study of benign adnexal masses

Ovarian Masses: Changing Clinico Histopathological Trends

“…This is comparable with Manivasakan et al [14] study but differs from Mondal et al [5], Pilli et al [12], and Jha et al [13] study. Histopathological pattern of ovarian masses in our study is compared with other studies in Table 4.…”

“…Ethnic differences are common among ovarian tumors; in Thanikasalam et al [12] study, it is shown that Teratomas are the commonest benign ovarian tumors among Malays and Chinese, whereas Serous tumors ranks first among Indians. Now, a rising trend in the Mucinous cystadenomas is noted in our study and South Indian Manivasakan et al [14] study. This trend is significant as various molecular and histological evidences suggest that Mucinous epithelial ovarian cancers develop via a sequence from benign through borderline tumor to invasive cancer which suggests the potential preventability of borderline and invasive Mucinous Ovarian cancer by surgical excision of identifiable precursor lesions.…”

“…These findings are in accordance to other studies. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][19][20][21] Benign lesions were more common in 30-40 years, and malignant lesions in 40-59 years age group similar to studies of Ameena, Jha. 8,20 The commonest neoplasms were epithelial tumours seen 12-80 years with peak age at 41-50 yrs.…”

“…Torsion was present in 65% cases of neoplasms and 35% cases of nonneoplastic lesions in our study. Cass et al 18 observed torsion in 55% neoplasms and 47% non-neoplastic lesions and Manivasakan et al 19 observed in 45% and 53% respectively.…”

Histopathological pattern and lateral distribution of benign ovarian cysts

“…Serous cystadenoma was the most common ovarian tumour at 59.5%, followed by mucinous cystadenoma 20% andmature cystic teratomas were 14% (Manivasham et al, 2012).In another Indian study Serous cystadenoma (67%) was the most common benign tumour followed by mucinous cystadenoma 19%and dermoid cyst 11.6% (Shraddha et al, 2015).In a study from Nepal mature cystic teratoma was the most common benign ovarian tumour (48.2%) (Jha et al, 2008).…”
