Abstract

Introduction: Ovarian mass lesions are evaluated by ultrasound guided FNAC. It is useful to distinguish between neoplastic and non neoplastic ovarian masses.

Aim: The aim of the study is to study the cyto-morphlogical features of ovarian masses.

Materials and Methods: The present study is done over a period of two years i.e., from March 2017 to February 2019. A total number of 76 cases were studied in the Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Kadapa. All the cases were categorised based on cyto-morphological features obtained ultra sound guided FNAC.

Requirement of materials: 10 ml disposable syringe with 22-25 G needle, suitable fixative is Isopropyl alcohol, Alcohol fixed slides were taken for Heamatoxyllin and Eosin (H&E) stain.

Results: In the present study we registered 76 cases.  Among these 72 cases (94.73%) were primary tumors of ovary, two cases (2.63%) were secondaries and two cases (2.63%) were non neoplastic i.e., endometriosis of ovary.

Key Words: Ultrasound guided FNAC, Non neoplastic, Neoplastic ovarian lesions, Kadapa
