| description | Background and Objective: Ovarian masses are one of the most common clinical conditions among women, which if not treated properly may be developed into malignant. However, not ovarian masses are progressing into malignant, and early diagnosis and treatment generally cure them without much destruction. The rate of occurrence highly depends on the demographic and obstetric profile of women. Since demographic profile varies it becomes essential to carry out detailed studies of a particular region to understand the prevalence of ovarian masses. Here, such a retroprospective study was carried out to determine the prevalence of ovarian masses in the Rajkot district. Methodology: A total of 44 cases with ovarian masses were taken into consideration for the determination of the effect of various parameters and their association with ovarian masses. The patients were analyzed for nonneoplastic, benign, and malignant tumors. Patients were analyzed based on demographic location, obstetric profile, and clinical presentations. Results: Based on the entire study, it was found that women in a middle age group are more prone to ovarian masses as compared to the older age group. Not only this but higher parity is also associated with increased chances of ovarian masses. Among nonneoplastic tumors occurrence of the serious cyst was highest. While in the case of benign tumors, mucinous cystadenoma and teratoma both were found predominant. However, no significant difference was observed in the patients with nonneoplastic and benign tumors. Among 44 cases, only one case with serous papillary adenocarcinoma was found. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it was found that women of Rajkot district in the age group 30–50 years are more prone to ovarian masses. |
