Spectrum of Ovarian Pathologies: A Histopathological Study of Received Oophorectomy Specimens

Abstract

Ovarian lesions present a complex diagnostic challenge in clinical practice, demanding a thorough understanding of their histological characteristics for effective management. It is particularly crucial to differentiate between neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions, as many non-neoplastic pelvic masses can clinically mimic ovarian malignancies. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the spectrum of ovarian lesions observed within a tertiary care center, categorizing them based on their histomorphological patterns—namely, non-neoplastic, benign, borderline, and malignant—and their specific histopathological types, including surface epithelial tumors,
sex cord stromal tumors and germ cell tumors.
