Granulosa cell tumors of the ovary are rare, and account for 2 to 3% of ovarian tumors. Granulosa cell tumors are discovered often in perimenopausal or postmenopausal women but 10 to 26% are found in the reproductive age group. The tumors associated with pregnancy are infrequent. In this study, we present a case of granulosa cell tumor of left ovary at pregnancy.

Testicular granulosa cell tumor(GCT) is a rare neoplasm. We report here on an incidentally discovered testicular granulosa cell tumor in a 36-year-old man. The serum tumor markers were within the normal limits. The ultrasonographic findings revealed a mass with a heterogenous hypoechoic echotexture, including multiple variable sized cystic components. The histology on the orchiectomy specimen demonstrated a gonadal stromal tumor with granulosa cell features. Testicular granulosa cell tumor of the adult type is a very rare tumor, and there have been several isolated case reports and small serial studies described in the literature.

5% of ovarian neoplasms consist of granulosa cell tumors. 10% of cases coexist with pregnancy2. We report on delivery of normal infant in young woman with granulosa cell tumor diagnosed and treated during pregnancy. At laparotomy a large right ovarian granulosa cell tumor was found and right salpingo- oophorectomy was performed. A normal infant was delivered by cesarean section at full term.

Granulosa cell tumor is a rare ovarian neoplasm. It's indolent growth leads to large tumor at time of diagnosis. It is characterized by variable and long interval to recurrence in pelvic and peritoneal cavities, but solitary retroperitoneal recurrence is very rare. At laparotomy, a 52-years-old woman was found to have an oval shaped cystic tumor near left renal hilar region. Ten years ago, she had total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy due to left ovarian granulosa cell tumor. Histological features of the retroperitoneal tumor were granulosa cell tumor. We report a rare case of solitary retroperitoneal recurrence of granulosa cell tumor with a review of relevant literatures.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe the unique transvaginal sonographic(TVS) findings and clinical manifestations attributes of adult ovarian granulosa cell tumor(GCT) in postmenopausal women. METHODS: Data for 7 postmenopausal women with pathological proven adult ovarian GCT were respectively reviewed in Samsung Cheil Women's Hospital, between 1996 and 1999. Characteristics of transvaginal sonographic findings, pathological findings and clinical manifestations were analyzed. RESULT: On the basis of TVS findings, 7 cases of adult ovarian GCT were varied, but grossly categorized into 2 morphologic patterns: semisolid mass with scattered cystic components (n=3), muliticystic mass resembling typical hemorrhagic cyst (n=4). There are characteristics of TVS imaging of GCT that various size and stage of hemorrhage presents in the tumor. Endometrial transvaginal sonographic findings were normal atrophic EM (n=1), less than 5 mm with fluid collection (n=1), more than 5 mm with or without abnormal echogenicity (n=5). Clinical manifestations were, combination or alone, abnormal uterine bleeding (n=all), abdominal pain (n=1), mass palpation(n=3). Histopathologically most tumors were mixed, such as microfollicular, marcofollicular, trabecular pattern and also varied histologic appearance and tumor cell arrangement. CONCLUSION: TVS findings and combined presenting symptoms in postmenopausal women that raise suspicion of adult ovarian GCT include a relatively large ovarian mass (especially with hemorrhage) with a complex consistency, thickened endometrium and abnormal uterine bleeding without horomone replacement therapy. So it is possible to differentiate on basis of TVS imaging and symptoms between GCT and epithelial tumors of the ovary in postmenopausal women.
