GRANULOSA CELL TUMOR WITH PERITONEAL DİSSEMINATION AND RECTOSIGMOID MASS MIMICKING COLON CANCER
Abstract
Granulosa cell tumor is the most common sex-cord stromal tumor of the ovary. There are two types of granulosa cell tumor, which were
defined as juvenile and adult types. Generally, the adult type tumor is diagnosed at early stages with adnexal mass and vaginal bleeding
due to hormone secretion from the tumor. We report a 42 year-old postmenopausal woman admitted to our hospital with an abdominal
mass and rectal bleeding. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a large mesenteric mass measuring 20 cm with spread implants and liver metastasis.
Histopathological examination of the excised mass showed features of adult-type granulosa cell tumor.
