Aim: To find out the relation of neoplasia or tumor oncology with obsessive compulsive disorder.
Method: Twenty-four (24) individuals free of obsession and compulsion before diagnosing a case of malignancy
have screened by using five screening questions of OCD known as Zohar-Fineburg Obsessive Compulsive
Screen (Z-FOCS) after diagnosing malignancy. Samples are collected from Medical Oncology Department and
Pediatric Oncology and Hematology department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University.
Result: Among 24 individuals there are 19 males and 5 females. From the individuals diagnosed cases are
mentioned where there is one carcinoma of mastoid process, two carcinoma of lung, one soft tissue sarcoma,
one gonadal germ cell tumor, one hepatocellular carcinoma, five acute lymphoblastic leukemia, four
acute myelocytic leukemia, two burkitt lymphoma, three non-hodgkin lymphoma, two breast cancer, two
neuroblastoma. Among these 24 malignant individual fifteen people are washing and cleaning a lot. Eight
people check things a lot. Three people have any thought that keeps bothering them that they would like
to get rid of but cannot. Three people take a long time to finish their daily activities. Seventeen people have
orderliness or symmetry.
Conclusion: Usually obsessive compulsive disorder is related to posterior cranial fossa meningioma. But
other types of carcinomas can initiate many obsession and compulsion. In this survey there is only a screening
