Abstract
Epithelial ovarian neoplasms span a histopathologic spectrum ranging from benign adenomas to borderline or low malignant potential tumors (LMP) to high grade invasive carcinomas. Malignant surface epithelial tumors are the most common ovarian cancers, accounting for 90% of cases and are the most lethal gynecological malignancies. There has been an association between ovarian cancer with the frequency of ovulation, the repeated proliferation of epithelial cells may increase the chance of a genetic accident that could contribute to the activation of an oncogene or inactivation of a suppressor gene Despite attempts at early diagnosis, 60% of patients have extrapelvic spread at the time of diagnosis because the cells have the ability to invade
and metastasize.
