Granulosa Cell Tumors of Ovary: Retrospective Analysis of 10 Cases

Abstract

Granulosa cell tumors (GCT) are relatively rare, functional and low-grade neoplasms of ovary. They constitute 2-3% of all ovarian cancers. The aim of this study is to investigate clinical course, management and treatment outcome of the patients, and to reveal prognostic factors related with GCT. Ten patients who were diagnosed as GCT at Uludağ University Faculty of Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic between 1992 and 2007 were enrolled in the study. Patients were evaluated by using FIGO staging. Mean follow up after surgery was 79.9±60.2 months. Mean age was 41.80±11.23. Fifty percent of the patients were premenapousal. Most frequent symptom in premenopausal patients was irregular and profuse vaginal bleeding (35.7%), while abdominal and inguinal pain were prominent in postmenopausal period (28.6%). Ca 125 levels were assigned in normal ranges except one case. As 5 cases were treated with optimal surgical procedure, fertility preserving surgery was performed in 1 case. Other cases were not treated with optimal surgery. In this study, stage of the tumor was determi-ned as most important independent prognostic factor. Studies with larger series are needed to expose the importance of other prognostic factors.
