Extraovarian granulosa cell tumor: A case report

Abstract

Granulosa cell tumor (GCT) of the ovary is a rare tumor representing 2 to 5% of all ovarian neoplasms. It can reproduce or metastasize several years after the initial treatment. In rare cases, CGT can develop on an extra-ovarian site, which is thought to originate from ectopic gonadal tissue along the embryonic genital ridge. We herein present a case of extraovarian granulosa tumor, the clinical and therapeutic aspects, and our approach.

Ekstraovaryen granulosa hücreli tümör: Olgu sunumu

Abstract

Overin granuloza hücreli tümörü (GCT), tüm over neoplazmalarının %2-5'ini oluşturan nadir bir tümördür. Tedaviden birkaç yıl sonra yeniden ortaya çıkabilir veya metastaz yapabilir. Sık olmamakla birlikte, embriyonik genital katlantı üzerindeki ektopik gonadal dokudan köken alarak, ekstra-overyen bir bölgede de görülebilir. Burada bir ekstraovaryen granüloza tümörünü, klinik, terapötik yönleri ve kendi yaklaşımımızla birlikte sunuyoruz.
