Ovarian tumours are the most lethal of all gynaecological cancers and they are usually diagnosed in advanced stages when the prognosis is very poor.
To determine the pattern of ovarian lesions, their frequency, presentation, and associated clinical symptoms in Uyo, Nigeria.
A 10-year retrospective study of all ovarian specimens that were surgically removed and histologically diagnosed.
The patients were between the ages of 5 and 73 years with median age of 34.1 years. Benign tumours occurred most commonly among the 20-39-year age group (31.3%) while malignant tumours were predominant among those aged 50-69 years (10.0%). Surface epithelial tumours (45.4%) were the most common neoplastic tumours while the mature cystic teratoma (33.2%) was the most common tumour overall. Surface epithelial malignancies accounted for 70.6% of all ovarian malignancies and the serous cyst adenocarcinoma (10.2%) was the most common surface epithelial tumour as well as the most common malignant tumour.
There has been an increase in the number of malignant ovarian specimens in our centre. Though surface epithelial tumours were the most common category of ovarian tumours, overall, the mature cystic teratoma was the most common tumour. Serous cyst adenocarcinoma was the most common surface epithelial tumour and the most common malignant tumour.
卵巢肿瘤是所有妇科癌症中最致命的，通常在晚期诊断，预后非常差。
确定尼日利亚 Uyo 地区卵巢病变的模式、其频率、表现以及相关的临床症状。
对所有经手术切除和组织学诊断的卵巢标本进行了 10 年回顾性研究。
患者年龄在 5 至 73 岁之间，中位数年龄为 34.1 岁。良性肿瘤最常见于 20-39 岁年龄组（31.3%），而恶性肿瘤则多见于 50-69 岁年龄组（10.0%）。表面上皮肿瘤（45.4%）是最常见的肿瘤，而成熟囊性畸胎瘤（33.2%）是最常见的肿瘤。表面上皮恶性肿瘤占所有卵巢恶性肿瘤的 70.6%，浆液性囊腺癌（10.2%）是最常见的表面上皮肿瘤，也是最常见的恶性肿瘤。
我们中心的恶性卵巢标本数量有所增加。虽然表面上皮肿瘤是最常见的卵巢肿瘤类型，但总体而言，成熟囊性畸胎瘤是最常见的肿瘤。浆液性囊腺癌是最常见的表面上皮肿瘤，也是最常见的恶性肿瘤。
