“…This was different to the findings of Sah et al 8 and Kooning et al 5 who found Germ Cell Tumors to Comprised 43.4% and 44% of all ovarian neoplasm respectively. In western world 95% of ovarian Germ cell Tumors are mature cystic teratoma and only 3% of ovarian teratomas are immature.…”

A female's risk at birth of having ovarian tumors in her lifetime is 6-7%. Relative frequency of ovarian tumor is different for western and Asian countries. Two third of ovarian tumors occur in women of reproductive age group. This study is done in Dr. RPGMC and Hospital with the aim to find out frequency of different histological types of ovarian tumors and their age distribution in Kangra valley. One hundred forty eight ovarian tumors, reported were included in this study. One hundred sixteen cases (78.4%) are benign, twenty eight (18.9%) are malignant & four (2.7%) are borderline ovarian tumors. Histologically surface epithelial tumors were the commonest (77.7%) followed by germ cell Tumors (15.5%), sex cord stromal tumors (6.1%) and metastatic tumors (2.0%). Serous cyst adenoma is commonest benign tumor (50.9%) and serous cystadenocarcinoma are the commonest malignant tumors (42.9%) of all age groups. Benign tumors were more common than malignant ones. Most ovarian tumors (69.6%) were seen between the age of 20-49 years whereas most malignant tumors (71.4%) were seen above the age of 40 years. In 3 rd , 4 th , 5 th decades, Surface epithelial Tumors were more common (74.8%) than other tumors. There is no study in this field in Himachal area, which reflects various ovarian tumour's frequency and also their relationship with the age of the patient. Our study gave a broad view about ovarian neoplasm which is helpful for clinician to do early diagnosis and early treatment.

“…There were altogether 17 individual derivatives observed in this research work. In our study skin and its appendages were the frequent derivatives, each constituting 98.64%, similar to other studies, whereas it was observed in 100% of the tumors in a case series reported by Ayan et al [4,27]. The dominant mesodermal structures were bone and/or cartilage either or both were detected in 100% of cases [32].…”

The incidence of MCTs during pregnancy was 0.2% among ovarian tumors [17] while the incidence was higher in range of 3% to 3.5% in other series Online…”

BackgroundMature cystic teratoma (MCT), usually known as dermoid cysts derived from primordial germ cells. Comparing with different other types of germ cell tumors like dysgerminomas, and endodermal sinus tumors, they are most commonly observed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, clinical and pathological characteristics; and complications of MCT of the ovary in Chitwan district, central region of Nepal.

“…They may contain skin, hair follicle, and sweat gland, bones, nail and teeth. Dermoid cysts may be asymptomatic or present with abdominal swelling, discomfort, and pain 2,3 and typically occur during reproductive age (mean age, 27 years). 4 Ovarian cysts are labelled as large when they are over 5 cm in diameter and giant voluminous when they exceed 15 cm.…”

Germ cell tumors of the ovary: A clinicopathologic study of 121 cases from Nepal

Abstract: Mature teratoma is the most common germ cell tumor and accounts for 40.50% of all ovarian neoplasms. The high prevalence of germ cell tumors of the ovary found among patients who were hill natives needs to be explored further.
