All the patients were clinically suspicious of diagnosed of ovarian tumour and also supported by ultra-sonogram and confirmed by laparotomy findings and histopathological findings. Result:In this study among 100 participants the highest number of patients with ovarian tumors was 40 (40%) from 41 to 50 years age group. The highest number of patients were from average middle class families and it was 52%. Then 28 % participants were from poor families and the rest 20% were from upper middle class families.

Inspite of significant surgical and chemotherapeutic advance in treatment 5 years survival rate have not changed significantly in over 25 years and remains discouraging at 30%. From the clinical behavior of ovarian neoplasm, it is almost impossible to distinguish a benign tumour from its malignant counterpart. So, in most cases it is diagnosed when it becomes already metastatic. Of the ovarian cancer that reports for treatment-80% of ovarian tumours are of epitheliar origin, 10% of stromal origin and 5% of germ cell origin, while remainder fall into the other groups 4 . Dysgerminoma of the ovary is an uncommon gynaecologicaltumour representing 2% of all ovarian malignancies 5 . Cure rates, even in presence of metastases,
