Ovarian cysts are commonly encountered in gynecological practice and encompass a wide spectrum of lesions, ranging from non-neoplastic physiological cysts to neoplastic and potentially malignant tumors. This retrospective observational study was conducted over a period of 1 year and 10 months in a tertiary care center in North Karnataka to analyze the histomorphological spectrum of ovarian cysts. A total of 93 cases were examined. The majority of cysts occurred in the 40–49 years age group. Non-neoplastic cysts accounted for 53% of the cases, while 46.3% were neoplastic, of which 72.1% were benign and 27.9% malignant. The most common lesion was serous cyst adenoma (23.6%), followed by corpus luteal cyst (19.3%). Ovarian torsion was noted in 4.3% of the cases, predominantly affecting the right ovary. The study underscores the importance of histopathological evaluation in accurate classification and management of ovarian cysts.
