title: [Final verification of the preoperatively diagnosed "ovarian tumor" with the clinical characteristic of patients].
abstract: Despite the great progress in gynaecology, adnexal tumors are often detected by accident and the preoperative differentiation of their character is often difficult. The aim of the study was clinical and pathological analysis of 627 women who were operated because of the primary diagnosed "ovarian tumor". We concluded, that every sixth lesion treated operatively as ovarian tumor is not of ovarian origin. Among operatively treated ovarian tumors nearly 20% are malignant neoplasms. The probability of malignancy of ovarian disease is significantly greater in women after 40 yr. and among woman with oncological history.
