Abstract
This paper reports 512 cases of ovarian tumours seen over a 11 year period at Ga-Rankuwa Hospital. Germ cell tumours constituted 47.8 pc and common epithelial tumours formed 29.3 pc of all the tumours. Sixty seven pc (341) tumours had a benign histology and 33 pc (171) tumours were histologically malignant. The tumours were seen at a younger age than experienced in the Western World.
