UNASSIGNED: To study the frequency and histopathological classification of non-neoplastic ovarian lesions in a tertiary institution in North-western Nigeria.
UNASSIGNED: A retrospective study in which surgical biopsy specimens seen over a 9-year period were reviewed with respect to age and histopathological characteristics.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 83 non-neoplastic lesions were histologically diagnosed during the period under review. They constitute 5.16 % and 40.9 % of both gynaecological and ovarian samples received respectively. Of which 33.7% were Corpus luteum, 13.3% were both Follicular cysts and simple cysts respectively. Luteoma of pregnancy and Infarction constitute 9.6% each respectively. Endometriosis and no pathology as part of TAH, 6.0% respectively. Ovarian ectopic gestation was 4.8% cases, Nonspecific inflammation (oophoritis) 2.4%, and 1.2% complex cyst. Majority of cases 45.8% occurred among women in the third decade and 26.5% in the fourth decade, cases within the fifth decade were 9.6% and the second decade constituted 8.4% cases.
UNASSIGNED: Ovarian non-neoplastic lesions are common in our environment; they potentially mimic ovarian neoplasms thereby posing a diagnostic challenge. Proper classifications are important for appropriate management.
■研究尼日利亚西北部一家大专院校非肿瘤性卵巢病变的频率和组织病理学分类。
■一项回顾性研究,对9年期间的手术活检标本的年龄和组织病理学特征进行了回顾。
■在审查期间,在组织学上总共诊断了83个非肿瘤性病变。它们分别占收到的妇科和卵巢样本的5.16%和40.9%。其中33.7%为黄体,卵泡囊肿和单纯性囊肿分别为13.3%。妊娠黄体瘤和梗塞分别占9.6%。子宫内膜异位症,没有病理学作为TAH的一部分,分别为6.0%。卵巢异位妊娠为4.8%,非特异性炎症(卵巢炎)2.4%,和1.2%的复杂囊肿。大多数病例在第三个十年中占45.8%,在第四个十年中占26.5%。第五个十年内的病例为9.6%,第二个十年占8.4%。
卵巢非肿瘤性病变在我们的环境中很常见;它们可能模仿卵巢肿瘤,从而构成诊断挑战。正确的分类对于适当的管理很重要。
