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...

Background & aim: Flaxseed is the richest source of lignan which is one of the main categories of phytoestrogens. In addition to the estrogenic and anti-estrogenic properties of lignan, it has non-hormonal properties as well. The treatment of menopausal hot flashes and cyclic mastalgia, the reduction in vasomotor symptoms and tumor cell growth and recurrence, the prevention of breast and ovaria...

Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors are relatively infrequent neoplasms that account for approximately 8% of all primary ovarian neoplasm. Sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary include granulosa cell tumors, fibrothecomas, Sertoli-Leydigcell tumors, steroid cell tumors, and sclerosing stromal tumors (SST). Sclerosing stromal tumors account for 2% to 6% of ovarian stromal tumors. Despite the rarity o...

leydig stromal cell tumor is a rare ovarian tumor that belongs to the group of sex-cord stromal tumors. they produce testosterone leading to hyperandrogenism. we present a 41yr old woman with symptoms of virilization and a mass of right adenex via ultra sonography, and a rise of total and free serum testosterone. an ovarian source of androgen was suspected and a surgery performed. a diagnosis o...

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...

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 ...

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...

Ovarian epithelial tumours are common diseases of female genital tract, they account for the majority of female ovarian neoplasms. The recent World Health Organization (WHO) 2014 classification of tumours of female reproductive Organs introduced a new category of ovarian neoplasm designated as “seromucinous tumours” as they exhibit both serous and mucinous features. These are uncommon ovarian t...

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,...
