Clinical profile of the patients and age-wise distribution of histological types of ovarian mass were analyzed descriptively using Microsoft Excel.

Results: Peak incidence of ovarian tumor was in age group of 20-29 years with 93 (36%) cases out of 258 ovarian masses. All eight malignant tumors were in age group of ≥40 years. Neoplastic masses were 188 (72.9%), 95 (50.5%) germ cell tumor. In 70 (27.1%) non-neoplastic lesion, corpus luteal cyst were 24 (34.3%).
