Özet: Aim & Objective: To study the clinico-pathological features of various surface epithelial tumors of ovary with special emphasis on their Histogenesis.Methodology: This is a prospective study conducted from July 2018 to July 2020, at Katuri Medical College & Hospital, Guntur.  Cases diagnosed as ovarian tumors and received at the Department of Pathology were included in the present study. Relevant clinical and laboratory data was collected.Results: A total of 120 cases of Surface Epithelial tumors were diagnosed and taken under study. They amount to almost 83% of the total ovarian tumors (100 cases). Multiparous women predominated the list accounting for 100 of the 120 cases. Tumors were from sizes ranging from 2.5 cms to 30 cms and had varied appearances on cut-section being cystic with unilocular and multilocular. Benign lesions predominated over malignant ones, numbering 100 out of 120 cases. Two cases of Atypical proliferative serous tumor were reported. Among the three cases of STIC, one cases was of Papillary type and two others were Flat type.Conclusion: The findings of the present study, that the Serous Tumors of the Ovary, may have an identifiable precursor lesion in the form of Serous Tubal Intraepithelial Carcinoma (STIC) arising from the fallopian tube, more commonly from the Tubo-Peritoneal Junction (TPJ) at the fimbrial end.
