A clinico-Pathological study was made on a series of 411 cases of ovarian tumors, which admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hangang Sacted Heart Hospital,Hallym University during the period from January 1, 1976 to December 31, 1985. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Among 411 cases, the incidence of non-neoplastic ovarian cysts, benign ovarian tumors and malignant ovarian tumors were 34.3%(141 cases), 58.2%(239 cases) and 7.5%(31 cases) respectively. 2. Among the non-neoplastic ovarian cysts, simple cyst(30.5%, 43 cases) ranked first, followed by corpus luteum cyst(28.4%, 40 cases), and lutein cyst(22.0%, 31 cases). The highest incidence of non-neoplastic ovarian cysts showed in 3rd decade group(48.9%). The mean age of non-neoplastic ovarian cysts was 30.6 years. 3. In benign ovarian tumors, cystic teratoma(61.1%, 146 cases) was most common, followed by mucinous cystadenoma(23.4%, 56 cases) and serous cystadenoma(12.1%, 29 cases) in order of frequency. The highest frequency of benign ovarian tumors was found in 3rd decade group(41.4%). The average age of genign ovarian tumors was 32.6years. 4. As to the frequency of malignant ovarian tumors, mucinous cystadenocarcinoma was found in 41.9%(13 cases), serous cystadenocarcinoma in 22.6%(7 cases). The highest incidence of malignant ovarian tumors including borderline malignancy was observed in 3rd decade group(29.0%). The age of malignant ovarian tumors averaged at 37.3 years. 5. In the frequency of parity, nulliparous was most common(35.0%). The mean parity of non-neoplastic ovarian cysts, benign ovarian tumors, and malignant tumors were 1.5, 1.8 and 1.8 respectively.
