The results were as follows; The average age was 42.1 years old with the highest frequency in 5th decade. The most common chief complaint of pelvic mass was lower abdominal pain or discomfort, revealed in 30.6% of the cases. Among the pelvic mass, leiomyoma was most frequently revealed in 56.0% and benign ovarian tumor was revealed in 25.3%. Leiomyomas were observed most frequently in the age group 41 to 50 years. Benign ovarian tumor or functional cyst was the most prevalent finding in women aged 21∼30 years. In the age group in 11 to 20 years, malignant ovarian tumor was most frequently observed. The incidence of malignant tumor was 4.6% among all pelvic mass. Total abdominal hysterectomy with unilateral or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was most frequently performed in 68.3%. Leiomyomas were found in 82.5% of 194 patients with a preoperative diagnosis of leiomyma. Ovarian tumors were found in 80% of 100 patients with a preoperative diagnosis of ovarian tumors.
