Background:Ovarian tumors include a complex wide spectrum of neoplasm involving a variety of histological diagnosis ranging from epithelial tissues, connective tissue, specialized hormone secreting to germinal and embroyonal cells. The present study was conducted to assess gross and histological patterns of ovarian tumors. Materials & Methods:74 ovarian tumours were obtained in general pathology department. Paraffin blocks were prepared, cut and stained with routine Hematoxylin and Eosin stain. Special stains like reticulin, PAS etc., were used wherever required. Results: Size<5 cm was seen among 28 and >5 cm in 46. Laterality was unilateral in 50 and bilateral in 24. Cystic/solid was unilocularcystin 30, multilocular cyst in 24 and solid and cystic in 20. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Germ cell tumors were 25, surface epithelial tumors in 44 and sex cord stromal tumors in 5 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Serous tumours were benign seen in 18, malignant in 8 and borderline in 4. Mucinous tumours were benign seen in 6, malignant in 4 and borderlinein 4 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Epithelial tumors are the commonest variety of ov
