Popis:	Ovarian tumours are a common finding in gynecology mainly due to the increasing use of routine ultrasound technology. They are important because of their varied clinical and histopathological presentations. This study was done to assess their age incidence, modes of presentation and histopathological appearance. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted between January 2012 and December 2012 in the Department of Gynaecology, ESICMC & PGIMSR, Bangalore. 95 cases of ovarian tumours were studied and the age of occurrence, clinical presentation and histopathological appearance were studied. RESULTS: Among 95 cases, majority were in the reproductive age group and majority were benign tumours, commonest being serous cystadenoma. Pain abdomen was the major presentation. CONCLUSION: Ovarian tumours can present variously both clinically and histopathologically and histopathological appearance is important not only for diagnosis but also for prognosis.
