Abstract
Background: In Bangladesh, ovarian malignancy is quite common. Given the growing emphasis on improving female health, the prevention, early detection & and early treatment of female cancer will undoubtedly become more important at present & and in the future. Objective: To evaluate the clinical and laparotomy findings of ovarian tumor. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in a Tertiary Medical College and Hospital from July 2021 to December 2022. 50 consecutive patients who attended the outpatient and who were admitted to this Hospital during this period, were taken as the study population. Results: During this study, out of 50 cases 32 (64%) complained of vague abdominal discomfort and occasional pain in the lower abdomen and 23 (46%) complained of a lump in the lower abdomen. Anemia was present clinically in 45 (90%) Mass was present in the abdomen of 44 (88%) patients. There were unilateral neoplasm in 43 (86%) cases and (14%) cases were bilateral. In 7 (14%) cases, neoplasms were solid, in 7 (14%) cases adhesions to the surrounding structures, partly cystic partly solid were 7 (14%) cases, clear peritoneal fluid in 5 (10%) cases and peritoneal seedling in 3 (6%) cases. Conclusion: Incidence of hospital admission of ovarian neoplasm in this study was 5.8%. Regarding nature of the neoplasm, 86 percent were found benign and 14 percent malignant. The mean age of the patients having neoplasm 35.5 years. As ovarian neoplasm is a silent killer disease, if we can provide some information through mass media, it may be of some help in early diagnosis of ovarian neoplasm and thereby could help our youthful victims.
