Synchronous granulosa cell tumor of the ovary and endometrial adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Granulosa cell tumors of the ovary are sex cord stromal tumors. Sex cord stromal tumors make up 8% of ovarian tumors. Ninety percent of sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary are granulosa cell tumors. There are two types of granulosa cell tumors juvenile and an adult type (Jamieson and Fuller. Molecular pathogenesis of granulosa cell tumors of the ovary. Endocr Rev 2012;33109-44). This article provides a literature review outlining histopathology, immunocytochemistry and cytogenic characteristics of adult granulosa cell tumor of the ovary and a case report of synchronous adult granulosa cell tumor of the ovary and endometrial adenocarcinoma.
