Abstract

Background: Ovarian tumors are common forms of neoplasms in women. this study aims to determine the histopathological pattern of primary ovarian neoplasms in South-western Nigeria.

Method: A retrospective study was undertaken to review the histopathological reports of all primary ovarian neoplasm specimens submitted to the Department of Pathology, University College Hospital, Ibadan from JAnuary 1991 to June 2013. Patient's biodata were extracted from the request forms and surgical day books.

Results: There were 821 cases of primary ovarian neoplasms. 359 (43.7%) cases were surface epithelial neoplasms which were found in patients with age range 10-89 years. three hundred and thirteen (38%) cases of germ cell tumor were found in patients with age range 0-70 years. One hundred and forty-six (17.8%) cases of sex cord stromal tumor were found in patients with age range 0-99 years. Mature cyctic Teratoma was the most common (54.7%) among benign ovarian neoplasms with 20-29 years being the age range with highest tumors while serous cystadenocarcinoma was the most common (33.2%) primary malignant ovarian neoplasms with 50-59 years being the age range with highest tumors.

Conclusion: Surface epithelial tumors were the most common ovarian neoplasm followed by germ cell tumors. this pattern is observed in most parts of Nigeria, some African and Asian countries and in the Western world.
