A malignant neoplasm of the ovary is a cancerous growth arising within one or both ovaries, which are vital components of the female reproductive and endocrine systems Pathophysiologically, these malignancies involve abnormal cellular proliferation, genetic alterations such as BRCA variants, and aggressive local invasion with frequent transcoelomic dissemination across the peritoneal cavity
