  1. BENIGN OVARIAN TUMORS Dr. Mashael Al-Shebaili Asst. Prof. & Consultant Ob/Gyn Dept.

  2. Ovaries are normally not palpable in pre-menarche, and after the menopause • In the reproductive age group ovaries are palpable in the lean pts. • Ovarian size of different age groups Premenopause 3.5 x 2 x 1.5 cm Early menopause 1 – 2 yrs 2 x 1.5x0.5cm Late menopause 2-5yrs 1.5x0.75x0.5cm

  3. If the ovaries are palpable in any of the age groups when it is not supposed to be through investigations and work up should be carried out • OVARIAN CYSTS CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS FOLLOWS: • I. Functional Benign • II Neoplastic borderline Malignant

  4. FUNCTIONAL OVARIAN CYSTS INCLUDES: a. Follicular cysts b. Corpus luteum cysts c. Theca luten cysts BENIGN OVARIAN NEOPLASM 1. Serous cystadenoma 2. Mucinous cystadenoma 3. Endometrioma 4. Dermoid cysts 5. Fibroma

  5. FUNCTIONAL CYSTS • These are cysts related to ovarian function i.e. the process of ovulation • They are the most common detected cysts in the reproductive age group • Can be reach up to 10 cm in diameter • Resolve spontaneously.

  6. Follicular cysts results from the growth of a follicle that does not rupture • Corpus luteum cyst results from Hge inside a corpus luteum • Theca luteum cysts result from over stimulation of the ovary by HCG. Not common in normal pregnancy but common in molar pregnancy, choriocarcinoma and reproductive technology

  7. Benign ovarian neoplasia - 80% of ovarian neoplasm are benign - Benign ovarian neoplasm can be solid or cystic

  8. Serous Cystadenoma (Commonest) - Usually do not reach very large sizes - unilocular or multilocular - smooth surface - fluid filled

  9. MUCINOUS CYSTADENOMA - May reach very large size - Filled with thick mucinous material - Perforation may lead to a serious condition called pseudomyxoma peritonei for which chemotherapy may be needed. • ENDOMETRIOMA (Chocolate cysts) - Associated with endometriosis

  10. DERMOID CYSTS OR BENIGN CYSTIC TERATOMA - Usually small and may be bilateral - Contain sebum, hair, teeth etc. - Contains elements from endoderm mesoderm and ectoderm - Can change into malignant teratoma - Avoid spilling of contents which leads to chemical peritonitis

  11. FIBROMA - Firm in consistency * Meigs syndrome Ovarian fibroma + ascites, hydrothorax following removal of fibroma, there is spontaneous resolution of ascites and hydrothorax

  12. Clinical signs and symptoms of ovarian masses: 1.  abdominal girth 2. Abdominal discomfort 3. Pressure symptoms bladder bowel 4. Acute abdomen due to - Hge - Rupture - Torsion 5. Asymptomatic coincidentally diagnosed

  13. RADIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF BENIGN OVARIAN MASSES: 1. Unilocular 2. Smooth surface 3. No solid elements 4. No external or internal outgrowth 5. No ascites 6. Unilateral 7. Normal doppler flow

  14. CLINICAL FEATURES OF BENIGN OVARIAN TUMORS Unilateral  Cystic  Mobile  No ascites  No cul de-sac nodules  Slow or no growth

  15. EVALUATION OF THE PATIENT WITH OVA ADNEXAL MASS.  Complete Hx and physical exam  U/S  CT scan with contract or IVP  Ba enema or colonoscopy  Laparoscopy or laparotomy accordingly

  16. INDICATIOONS FOR SURGERY  Ovarian cyst >5 cm followed for 6- 8wks.  Solid lesions  Papillary vegitation  Mass >10 cm at the time of presentations  Ascites  Palpable mass in premenarchal or post menopausal  Suspicion of torsion or rupture
