They are characterized by a prolonged history and a tendency to late recurrences. It is the most common type of sex cord-stromal tumors. Aims: To analyze, to report and to better understand the clinico-pathologic features and results of treatment, and prognostic factors of these tumors. Materials and Methods: A retrospective single-institutional review 17 cases of GCTs were treated in National Cancer Institute—Cairo University from January 2010 till December 2014. The clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of patients with ovarian GCTs were analyzed. Results: Data from 17 patients were obtained. The median age was 54 years (range;14 - 72). Abdominal pain was the most common presentation (64.7%). The mean tumor size was 14 cm (range;7 - 23 cm). The majority of our patients were stage I (n = 11;64.7%), while (n = 3;17.6%) had stage III and (n = 2, 11.8%) were stage IV. Only one case (5.9%) had an unknown stage (explored outside NCI). The majority of cases were of adult type disease (n = 14) and low grade pathology (n = 10). In follow-up period (median = 42 months;ranging 9 - 60) three patients relapsed;the median overall survival time was not reached yet, however, the estimated 3-year survival was 72.5%. Conclusion: Granulosa cell tumors are rare neoplasms of the ovaries. They progress slowly and often are diagnosed in an early stage. Surgery is the main line of treatment. Prolonged post-therapeutic follow-up is necessary. Definition of proper prognostic factors is mandatory.展开更多

The adult type is the most common type and usually occurs during the perimenopausal period while the juvenile type mostly affects young women. This is a report of a 26 years old woman who presented an adult type of granulosa cells tumor, with review of the literature. She complained abdominal pain and distension associated with abundant ascites and underwent a right adnexectomy. The pathology examination diagnosed an adult granulosa cell tumor. The two entities of granulosa cell tumors (juvenile and adult types) are distinguished by their characteristic morphological aspects on histological examination allowing diagnostic orientation.</span> </div>展开更多

The surgical management of SCST in early-stage adult patients is not well?defined. CASE REPORT: A 69 year-old postmenopausal woman was admitted for metrorrhagia, a right ovary mass and?increasing pelvic pain. Preoperative clinical and instrumental examination suspected an ovarian tumor, and the?laparoscopic right ophorectomy and the frozen section suggested an ovarian SCST. To fast restore and preserve woman?integrity, total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) plus left salpingo-ophorectomy (SO) were performed, without complications?in the short and long term follow-up. CONCLUSION: In the authors’ opinion, the minimally invasive management?of SCST by TLH plus bilateral SO followed by a prolonged surveillance and without intensive surgical staging,?could be an appropriate clinical and surgical choice in elder patient at early stage, since these tumors are slow at?growth, recurring locally and only a long time after initial treatment. We suggest, after a minimally invasive treatment,?a possible “wait and see” option, as in our case report.展开更多
