Ovary is one of the commonest sites of lesion in the female reproductive tract, which can present among childhood to post-menopausal age group. Diagnosis of ovarian lesions in its early stages is rare, as they are usually asymptomatic and not easily identified on physical examination. A statistical retrospective study is done over a period of 1 year at Sree Balaji Medical College & Hospital (tertiary care center). A total of 151 ovarian lesions were reported in the year 2015- 2016 histologically by the department of pathology, SBMCH. Amongst the total lesions Non-neoplastic type were 129(85.5%) cases & Neoplastic were 22(14.5%) cases. Non-neoplastic lesions were more common than neoplastic lesions. Among neoplastic lesions benign tumors were common. The diagnostic diversity of ovarian lesions poses many challenges. A specific diagnosis can usually be made by histopathology but sometimes immunohistochemistry is required in difficult cases.
