[Benefits and the accuracy of the intra-operative frozen section at suspected ovarian tumours].
OBJECTIVE
To assess benefits and the accuracy of the intra-operative frozen section for the operative strategy at suspected ovarian tumours.


METHODS
Retrospective study.


METHODS
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacky University in Olomouc.


METHODS
Intraoperative frozen section and final histopathology were compared in 53 patients who underwent operative treatment for suspected ovarian neoplazma. The accuracy of the frozen section findings was evaluated according to the histopatological type of tumours and categories - benign, malignant and borderline tumours.


CONCLUSIONS
In accordance with literature reports a good reliability of the frozen section as for the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were proved. The majority of errors occured in diagnosing mucinous and borderline tumours.
