Abstract
Juvenile granulosa cell tumor is a well-known sex-cord stromal ovarian neoplasm different in appearance and behavior from the adult granulosa cell tumor and occurs most (80%) frequently in the first two decades. The prognosis of juvenile granulosa cell tumor in children is good in most cases, but correlated with stage, size, the presence of ruptures, the grade of nuclear atypia, the degree of mitotic activity. The surgery remains the principal line of treatment for low stage juvenile granulosa cell tumor in children, but for those patient with high stage juvenile granulosa cell tumor or recurrence, the best treatment has yet to be determined and tumor sensitivity to radiation therapy and chemotherapy is not clearly. We present a case of juvenile granulosa cell tumor with brief review of literatures.
