ADULT GRANULOSA CELL TUMOR OF OVARY: AN OVERVIEW

Dr. Swati Singh, Dr. Vinay Kumar

Abstract :

Ovarian adult granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) are uncommon neoplasms that arise from the sex–cord stromal cells of the ovary. GCTs are characterized by long natural history and their tendency to recur years after the initial diagnosis. They present with symptoms and signs due to estradiol secretion, including vaginal bleeding and precocious puberty. Occasionally, tumor rupture causes abdominal pain and hemoperitoneum. GCT is usually associated with a mass on pelvic examination which is subsequently confirmed with imagine techniques. Surgery is the mainstay of initial management for histological diagnosis. The most important prognostic factor associated with a higher risk of relapse is the stage of disease.
