Abstract

Objective: The main aim for undertaking this study was to find out what was the appropriateness of clinical diagnosis of benign ovarian tumor and compare the results after Histopathological study. Material And Methods: Retrospective files study of 240 cases was carried out to analyze the clinical signs and symptoms and evaluation done of clinical findings, tumour marker study, ultrasonography, and the plan of treatment. Results: Laparotomy was done in 200 cases, clinically ovarian masses were diagnosed as benign in 75%, by Tumor marker i.e. CA125 in 80%, by sonography in 70% and by histopathology in 83%. The study was statistically analyzed. The values in diagnosis of ovarian mass clinically and comparing with other parameters was significant p value<0.05. Conclusion: Clinical signs and symptoms are still important predictors in reaching the diagnosis of benign Ovarian Mass. [ Saluja J NJIRM 2014; 5(4) :67-71]
