Abstract:
Granulosa cell tumors of ovary are rare neoplasms, which account for 2~5% of all ovarian malignancies. Ovarian granulosa cell tumors are often associated with endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma. The endometrial carcinoma is thought to occur under the influence of the estrogen receptor pathway and is typically a low-grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma. We present a case of granulosa cell tumor of the ovary and synchronous endometrial carcinoma that were managed with laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with brief review of literature.
