The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence of occurrence of various benign and malignant neoplastic lesions of the female reproductive system, including the uterus, cervix, ovaries, vagina, vulva, and breasts, in a rural tertiary care centre over a two-year period.
The study was undertaken at TSM Medical College in Lucknow, India, and is a retrospective study. All formalin-fixed surgical specimens of the female reproductive system were evaluated under light microscopy for histopatholoical alterations from September 2016 to September 2018. Only neoplastic lesions were included in the study, with nonneoplastic lesions being eliminated.
Results: A total of 223 cases representing various neoplastic diseases of the female reproductive system were studied. There were 186 benign and 37 malignant tumours in all. Among the overall neoplasms, there were 71 cases of breast neoplasms, 12 cases of cervix neoplasms, 102 cases of uterus neoplasms, 37 cases of ovaries neoplasms, and 1 case of vulva neoplasms. The uterus was responsible for the majority of benign instances (98). (all leiomyomas). Out of the malignant cases, the most common were Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma breast (10 cases), cervical cancer (8 cases), ovary (5 cases), and endometrial (2 cases) (4 cases).
Conclusion: Leiomyoma, a benign tumour, is the most frequent neoplasm in the female reproductive system. The most prevalent malignant tumour is infiltrating ductal carcinoma, which is followed by cervical cancer. And among all female genital tract tumours, carcinoma cervix was the most prevalent.Author(S) Details
