Abstract: Objectives: Ovarian tumors are an increasing cause for morbidity and mortality worldwide. The present study was conducted in Dr. SN Medical College Jodhpur to determine the incidence of various histological and morphological variants of ovarian tumor, their clinical presentation and age distribution. Material and Methods: The study was performed in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Dr. SN Medical College Jodhpur, Rajasthan from July 2022 to February 2023 and 100 HPR reports collected from the pathology department. Results: Total 100 patients were included in the study with the age range from 15 years to 70 years. Maximum patients were from the age group 41 - 50 years (25%). In the present study, abdominal pain (55%) was the most common presenting complaint followed by mass per abdomen with irregular periods (13%). Majority of the ovarian tumors belonged to benign tumors (95%) followed by malignant tumors (5%). As per WHO classification, surface epithelial tumors were found to be the commonest variety (76.12%), followed by Germ cell tumors (18.46%). Among the various known subtypes of ovarian tumors, serous cystadenoma (35%) was found to be the most common subtype followed by benign cystic teratoma (17%) and then serous cystadenocarcinoma (13%). Conclusion: Benign ovarian tumors are more common than malignant or borderline tumors. Among the histopathological subtypes of ovarian tumors, surface epithelial tumors are the commonest type followed by germ cell tumors. Differentiation between benign and malignant tumors is important to assure proper management and recovery. Similar studies with greater sample size are advisable in future.
