An Unusual Case of Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumor of the Ovary

Kristin Ruth Rusterholz, William MacDonald

Abstract

Juvenile granulosa cell tumor is a rare gynecologic malignancy. We describe a case of this tumor arising in a young woman. Initially assigned to Stage IC, the patient returned 3 months later with metastatic disease. Imaging findings in this case are discussed and pathologic examination confirms the diagnosis. The epidemiology, presentation, histologic and imaging appearances, prognosis and treatment of this malignancy are reviewed.
