BACKGROUND Gynaecological specimens form the major proportion of tissue biopsies in most pathology departments. Sexually active women are more prone to cervical disease. The aim of this study is to find out the frequency distribution of tumours occurring in FGT. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was carried out in pathology department of MGM Medical College, Jamshedpur. All formalin fixed surgical specimens of female genital tract from January 2013 to December 2015 were subjected for histopathology and examined under light microscopy. All neoplastic lesions were included, and non-neoplastic lesions were excluded from the study. RESULTS Between the period January 2013 to December 2015, a total of hundred (100) FGT surgical biopsies with various types of neoplastic lesions were received in the department of pathology, MGM Medical College, Jamshedpur. Out of which 8 tumours were from uterine cervix, 64 tumours were from uterine body, 28 tumours were from ovaries. Majority 90% were benign and 10% were malignant. Leiomyoma was the most common benign tumour of uterine body and squamous cell carcinoma of cervix was the most common malignant tumour. Both benign and malignant tumours occur in the age group of 41-50 years.
