Abstract: Objective: This research work aimed to determine the rate of occurrence and various kinds of the ovarian tumors in accordance with the age of the patients. Methodology: In this research work, we reviewed the ovarian tumors identified in the duration of complete three years from 2016 to 2018 in the Pathology Department of Mayo Hospital, Lahore. Results: We reviewed total two hundred and twenty-seven patients. Total one hundred and eighty-one abrasions were available as benign tumors and forty-six tumors were malignant. Most frequent occurring benign tumors were surface epithelial tumors and contain adenoma of serous cyst adenoma with rate of occurrence of 55.0% followed by adenoma of mucinous cyst in 20.0%. Tumors of benign germ cell were 25.0%.the most frequent available malignant abrasion was serous cyst adeno-carcinoma present in 38.0% patients followed by 17.0% patients of mucinous cyst adeno-carcinoma & two patients were available with carcinoma of clear cell. Tumors of germ cell were composed of teratoma as 11.0%, tumor of yalk sac as 9.0%, tumor of mixed germ cell as 4.0% and only one case of dysgerminoma. The rate of occurrence of sex-cord stromal tumors was about 17.0%. Majority of the patients suffering from benign tumors were in their 3rd & 4th decade of life. But the majority of the patients suffering from the malignant tumors were available in their 5th and 6th decade of life. Conclusion: In accordance with the findings of this case work, the most frequent available ovarian tumors were surface epithelial tumors followed by the tumors of the germ cells.
