background: ovarian fibroma is the most common benign solid tumor of the ovary, which is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. the choice treatment for ovarian fibroma is surgical removal, but discussions for the operative approach, laparoscopic or open, in the literature seem to be scant. case presentation: we presented a unique clinical experience of laparoscopic approach to a case of 1...

Most ovarian neoplasms are benign, epithelial types are commonest. There is no regular screening test for detecting malignant ovarian neoplasm, most patients remain asymptomatic until late stages. About 80% of malignant ovarian neoplasm present in stage 3 and 4 with 15% 5 year survival rate. To find out frequency of different types of ovarian neoplasm among women aged 15-60 years and correlates...

OBJECTIVE To identify the different histopathological types of ovarian neoplasms and their age distribution. METHODS This is a retrospective study were ovarian neoplasms received by the Pathology Department of King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between January 1995 and December 2010 were reviewed and their frequencies in different age groups were calculated. RESULTS Out of 618...

Background: Ovarian neoplasm is a type of cancer caused by uncontrolled growth and division cells within the ovary. It common gynecological that affects wide range ages can have various clinical, morphological, histological features. This study aimed to examine relationship between clinical presentation pattern ovarian neoplasm. Methods: cross-sectional conducted among 45 patients admitted depa...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate the association between reproductive, contraceptive, and menstrual factors and risk of benign ovarian tumours. DESIGN AND SETTING This was a case-control study carried out in six London Hospitals. An interviewer administered questionnaire was used. SUBJECTS 62 women with a benign epithelial ovarian neoplasm, 37 women with a functional ovarian cyst,...

Mature ovarian cystic teratomas are common benign ovarian neoplasm derived from germ cells. With increasing availability of ultrasound services even in developing countries, the diagnosis of benign ovarian tumour is made earlier and the size of the ovarian tumour at diagnosis is relatively small. It is unusual to find an ovarian cystic teratoma larger than 10 cm. We report a huge mature ovarian...

Note Ovarian germ cell tumours (OGCT) are a type of ovarian neoplasm principally affecting young women. They are derived from primitive germ cells of the embryonic gonad, and may undergo germinomatous or embryonic differentiation. They differ in clinical presentation, histology and biology, and include both benign (predominantly) and malignant subtypes. Germ cell tumours (GCT) account for 15-20...

AIMS The aim of the present study was to prove the efficiency of Color Doppler and Spectral Doppler in evaluation and characterization of the ovarian neoplasm. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 104 patients with adnexal masses were examined sonographically to evaluate for morphologic characteristics, as well as pulsatility indices (PI), and resistance indices (RI) over a period of 2 years, of w...

Benign cystic ovarian teratoma is the most common ovarian neoplasm accounting for 10–25 % of ovarian tumors. Complications of cystic teratomas include torsion (16 %), malignant degeneration (2 %), infection (1 %), and rupture (1 %). It can rupture into the bladder, small bowel, rectum, sigmoid colon, vagina, abdominal wall, and peritoneal cavity. We report a case of ovarian dermoid perforating ...
